Transmembrane sodium-ion gradients provide energy that can be harnessed by 'secondary transporters' to drive the translocation of solute molecules into a cell. Decades of study have shown that such ...
Ion-gradient-coupled transport systems in plants are normally electrophoretic and carry inward current. Rapid inward electrical currents elicited by K+, by urea and by lysine in the freshwater ...
TTUHSC’s Lan Guan, M.D., Ph.D., recently received a five-year, $1.96 million MIRA R35 grant (“An integrated approach to understanding the molecular mechanisms of cation-coupled transport”). To help ...
The leucine transporter (LeuT) from Aquifex aeolicus is a bacterial homolog of neurotransmitter/sodium symporters (NSSs) that catalyze reuptake of neurotransmitters at the synapse. Crystal structures ...
A protein-containing fraction has been solubilized from E. coli ML 308-225 membrane vesicles that has many of the properties of the amino acid ``carrier proteins'' of the D-lactate ...
The alternative to active transport is passive transport, which uses kinetic energy only to move the molecules. Passive transport can only move molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower ...
