G. L. Nicolson

G. L. Nicolson is best known for his contributions to the field of biology, particularly in cell biology and the study of cell membranes. He played a significant role in developing the fluid mosaic model of cell membranes, which describes membranes as flexible structures with various proteins embedded in or attached to a fluid lipid bilayer. This model has been fundamental in understanding how cells interact with their environment and how substances move in and out of cells. Nicolson's work has had a lasting impact on biology, influencing research in areas such as biochemistry and medicine.
