comment

  • Transducer dependency that couples a chemical reaction potential times flow rate to the vectorial transport diffusible particles across a diffusion barrier.

discussion

  • This is one of the fundamental mechanisms by which metabolically generated chemical energy is transduced into transmembrane electrochemical gradients. Examples: The cell membrane sodium-potassium pump (NKP) hydrolyses Mg-ATP to Mg-ADP plus phosphate to propel Na ions out of cells and K ions into cells (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na%2B/K%2B-ATPase ). The cell membrane calcium pump hydrolyses Mg-ATP to Mg-ADP plus phosphate to propel Ca ions from cell cytoplasm out to of cells (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_ATPase )
