Experimental data with intact mitochondria and submitochondrial particles indicate that complex I pumps protons with a stoichiometry of 4H+/2e−. The mechanism how proton translocation is coupled to redox chemistry is still unknown. A large number of concepts and more or less detailed hypothetical me...
Since the atomic number of sodium is 11, it has got 1 electron in the valence shell. Therefore, the valency of sodium is 1. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in sodium. But when sodium loses one electron to attain the octet co...
Nature Communications volume 12, Article number: 5231 (2021) Cite this article 9561 Accesses 66 Citations 2 Altmetric Metrics details Abstract Biological sodium channels ferry sodium ions across the lipid membrane while rejecting potassium ions and other metal ions. Realizing such ion selectivity in ...

Interestingly, and as expected, it has been demonstrated that the gustatory response to Na in deficient animals can be augmented by some of the hormones involved in its regulation, e.g., aldosterone or angiotensin II (Ang II), through an increase in the number of active amiloride-sensitive ...
An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom (the simplest unit of an element comprises sub-atomic particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons). In addition, an element cannot be decomposed by any chemical reaction into simpler substances. Group 1 elements, also known as...
Sodium is a metal. Firstly, from the periodic table we can see that sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11 and is a member of ... Mar 8,2024 How many neutrons, protons and electrons does a sodium atom have? A neutron is a neutral subatomic particle that, in conjunction with protons...
Most of the bicarbonate ions diffuse into the plasma. Since the ratio of H2CO3 to dissolved CO2 is constant at equilibrium, pH may be expressed in terms of bicarbonate ion concentration and partial pressure of CO2 by means of the Henderson-Hasselbach equation: pH = pk + log [HCO3-]/aP...
An ion is an atom or molecule that has a (full) positive or negative charge because its number of electrons and protons is not equal. Give an example of an ion. A pH value lower than 7 indicates alkaline soil. True False The early current in the action potential is carried mainly by...
Light-driven sodium pumps (NaRs) are unique ion-transporting microbial rhodopsins. The major group of NaRs is characterized by an NDQ motif and has two aspartic acid residues in the central region essential for sodium transport. Here we identify a subgro
