The Davson-Danielli model has limitations in explaining the structure of biological membranes because it proposed a rigid, layered structure with proteins sandwiched between lipid layers, which does not account for the dynamic nature of membranes and the presence of integral membrane proteins. This model also does not consider the fluidity and asymmetry of biological membranes, which are important for their functions.
