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 ...
