First sentence: Although much current interest is focused on the structure-function relationships of membrane proteins, a good understanding of the cellular processes responsible for the insertion of proteins into lipid bilayer membranes is a necessary prerequisite for assessing how much the accessibly "structure space" is constrained not by the bilayer per se but rather by the idiosyncrasies of the machineries that have evolved to guide the insertion process.
