We present a formalization of membrane structure by using a parametric 2-dimensional spherical surface, where membrane proteins reside and can move, according to prescribed operations. A more detailed formalization of membrane proteins acting as transporters is also given, thus possibly allowing a global scale analysis of ion flows across a membrane. Several other applications, both biology and computation oriented, are proposed.

Abstract
We present a formalization of membrane structure by using a parametric 2-dimensional spherical surface, where membrane proteins reside and can move, according to prescribed operations. A more detailed formalization of membrane proteins acting as transporters is also given, thus possibly allowing a global scale analysis of ion flows across a membrane. Several other applications, both biology and computation oriented, are proposed.
