Review on Mechanism of Facilitated Transport on Liquid Membranes
Membrane processes are used in various felds such as the environment, agriculture and different industrial sectors. These clean techniques are often adopted for directed processes such as treatment, recovery, valorization and separation. In this review article, the theoretical principles and the different classifcations of liquid membranes, such as supported liquid membra...
متن کاملLipid disequilibrium in biological membranes, a possible pathway to neurodegeneration
We recently reported that knocking down the enzyme phosphatidylserine decarboxylase, which synthesizes the phospholipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in mitochondria, perturbs the homeostasis of the human Parkinson disease (PD) protein α-synuclein (expressed in yeast or worms). In yeast, low PE in the psd1Δ deletion mutant induces α-synuclein to enter cytoplasmic foci, the level of this protein...
متن کاملMechanism of ion transport across bilayer membranes
Introduction The facilitated transport of ions and polar molecules across biological membranes is essential for normal cell function and is also a major objective in the rapidly growing field of drug delivery. Researchers strive to simulate naturally occurring channel-forming proteins or carrier molecules. The resultant compounds may utilize endogenous peptide sequences or may be novel organic ...
متن کاملA possible mechanism of biological silicification in plants
Plants are significant exponents of biological silicification. While not all plants are generally considered as biosilicifiers the extent to which all plants deposit biogenic silica is largely unknown. There are plants which are known as silica accumulators though even in these plants the extent and degree to which their tissues are silicified is neither appreciated nor understood. An elucidati...
متن کاملThermal diffusion as a mechanism for biological transport.
Accumulated experimental information is used to assess the possible significance of thermal diffusion to mass transport in living matter. Possible thermal gradients across membranes, a single living cell, and an ensemble of such cells (e.g. an organ, tumor, etc.) are estimated. The corresponding model calculations, although not describing the biological process in detail, lead to conclusions ab...
