Membrane structure of human erythrocytes has been intensively studied as a prototype of biological membranes. However, it is not well elucidated about the interactions between membrane components such as membrane proteins and phospholipids. As compared with hypotonic hemolysis, high pressure-induced hemolysis is very sensitive to chemical or enzymatic modification of membrane proteins. The present paper describes that the high pressure technique provides unique information about an investigation of membrane structure.
