The determination of membrane permeability to a specific solute is broadly Fick's first law that is modified to account for... the size of the solute relative to the membrane lipids the solute's ability to dissolve in lipids membrane thickness the electrical interaction between the solute and the membrane
"Transporters saturate at high concentrations of the transported molecule when all their binding sites are occupied; channels, on the other hand, do not bind the ions they transport and thus the flux of ions through a channel does not saturate." is true or false.
Make some generic comments about channel structure and activity. Why does solute passextremely fast but intermittently? Why are some channels extremely specific while others aremuch more general? What part of the channel structure determines what passes and when it isclose/open?
In the stomach, parietal cells are responsible for the formation of the gastric juice. During acid secretion, the pH in the stomach is estimated to be pH = 2, whereas parietal cells maintain an intracellular pH =7.35. The transmembrane potential of parietal cells is typically -70 mV. Body temperature 37°C. 1) Calculate the proton gradient concentration across the parietal membrane 2) Calculate the free energy change associated with the secretion of 1 mole of H* 3) Do you think that Ht transport can be driven by ATP hydrolysis at the ratio of one molecule of ATP per H* transported? You can use your textbook or other sources to check AG for ATP hydrolysis 4) If H* where free to move back to into the cell, calculate the membrane potential that would be required to prevent them to do so
