B. Steinbach in 1940 (see ref. 20), Dean concluded: "the muscle can actively move potassium and sodium against concentration gradients... this requires work. Therefore there must be some sort of a pump possibly located in the fiber membrane, which can pump out the sodium or, what is ...
The sodium-potassium pump is a carrier protein that actively transports sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradients. The...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a question Our experts can answer your tough homework and ...
the pump moves sodium and potassium ions in opposite directions, each against its concentration gradient. In a single cycle of the pump, three sodium ions are extruded from and two potassium ions are imported into the cell.
1. When red cells loaded with (24)Na are incubated in balanced glucose salt solutions, the removal of external potassium reduces sodium efflux by about one third. Ouabain reduces the residual sodium efflux by about one half.2. The ouabain-sensitive efflux of sodium into potassium-free solutions...
(the CaE1P-ADP state) with little changes in the overall structure. After ADP release, but prior to Ca2+release, the A and N domains rotate towards and against the P domain, respectively, forming a compact headpiece. The conserved189TGE motif moves close to the phosphorylation site Asp350 ...
(A) The first type involves the formation of twisted nanoribbons through metal-coordination and hydrogen bonding of sodium cholate and lanthanum or calcium ions. The unique feature of such assemblies is that their viscosity increases with increasing temperature. (B) The second type involves the ...
Recording electrodes were pulled from filamented borosilicate glass (Sutter Instrument) and filled with internal solution of the following composition (in mmol/L): 135 potassium methanesulfonate, 7 KCl, 0.3 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 0.1 EGTA, 3.0 Na2ATP, 0.3 NaGTP, 1 sodium phosphocreatine and 5 mg/...

The model (Fig.1a) consists of a fast spiking sodium current (INa) [25,26], an L-type calcium current (ICa,L) [27], a delayed rectifier (IK,DR) [28], a transient outward potassium current (IK,A) [28], an ether-a-go-go-related potassium current (IK,ERG) [29], a calcium-...
Copper transporting P-type (P1B-1-) ATPases are essential for cellular homeostasis. Nonetheless, the E1-E1P-E2P-E2 states mechanism of P1B-1-ATPases remains poorly understood. In particular, the role of the intrinsic metal binding domains (MBDs) is enigm
