Ion Transport across Biological Membranes by Carborane-Capped Gold Nanoparticles
Carborane-capped gold nanoparticles (Au/carborane NPs, 2-3 nm) can act as artificial ion transporters across biological membranes. The particles themselves are large hydrophobic anions that have the ability to disperse in aqueous media and to partition over both sides of a phospholipid bilayer membrane. Their presence therefore causes a membrane potential that is determined by the relative conc...
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 کاملOn Modelling Ion Fluxes Across Biological Membranes with P Systems
In this report we address the challenge of using P systems to integrate at the whole cell level both active and passive transport of different ions, done by different types of membrane transport proteins which work simultaneously and concurrently. P systems, proposed in [17] and lately reviewed in [18], are a class of distributed and parallel computing devices inspired by the structure and the ...
متن کاملPolyamines control of cation transport across plant membranes: implications for ion homeostasis and abiotic stress signaling
Polyamines are unique polycationic metabolites, controlling a variety of vital functions in plants, including growth and stress responses. Over the last two decades a bulk of data was accumulated providing explicit evidence that polyamines play an essential role in regulating plant membrane transport. The most straightforward example is a blockage of the two major vacuolar cation channels, name...
متن کاملFerrous ion transport across chloroplast inner envelope membranes.
The initial rate of Fe(2+) movement across the inner envelope membrane of pea (Pisum sativum) chloroplasts was directly measured by stopped-flow spectrofluorometry using membrane vesicles loaded with the Fe(2+)-sensitive fluorophore, Phen Green SK. The rate of Fe(2+) transport was rapid, coming to equilibrium within 3s. The maximal rate and concentration dependence of Fe(2+) transport in predom...
