It contains numerous integral protein s called Porin protein porin s , which contain a relatively large internal channel about 2 3 Nanometre nm that is permeable to all molecules of 5000 Atomic mass unit dalton s or less. Larger molecules can only traverse the outer membrane by active transport through mitochondrial membrane transport protein s. The outer membrane also contains enzyme s involved in such diverse activities as the elongation of fatty acid s, oxidation of epinephrine adrenaline , and the Biodegradation degradation of tryptophan .

It is composed mostly of protein fibers, with protein receptors needed for sperm binding which, in turn, are bound to sperm plasma membrane receptors. The species specificity between these receptors contributes to prevention of breeding between different species. It is called zona pellucida in mammal s. As soon as the spermatozoon fuses with the ovum , signal transduction occurs, resulting in an increase of cytoplasmic calcium ions. This itself triggers the cortical reaction , which results in depositing several substances onto the vitelline membrane through exocytosis of the cortical granules, transforming it into a hard layer called the fertilization membrane , which serves as a barrier inaccessible to other spermatozoa.

Membrane computing is an area within computer science that seeks to discover new computational model s from the study of biological Cell biology cells , particularly of the cellular membrane s. It is a sub task of creating a cellular model . Membrane computing or MC deals with distributed and parallel computing models, processing multisets of symbol objects in a localized manner. Thus, evolution rules allow for evolving objects to be encapsulated into compartments defined by membranes. The communications between compartments and with the environment play an essential role in the processes.
