Linear rate-equilibrium relations arising from ion channel-bilayer energetic coupling.
Linear rate-equilibrium (RE) relations, also known as linear free energy relations, are widely observed in chemical reactions, including protein folding, enzymatic catalysis, and channel gating. Despite the widespread occurrence of linear RE relations, the principles underlying the linear relation between changes in activation and equilibrium energy in macromolecular reactions remain enigmatic....
متن کاملEquivalence Relations on Separated Nets Arising from Linear Toral Flows
In 1998, Burago-Kleiner and McMullen independently proved the existence of separated nets in R which are not bi-Lipschitz equivalent (BL) to a lattice. A finer equivalence relation than BL is bounded displacement after dilation (BDD). Separated nets arise naturally as return times to a section for minimal R-actions. We analyze the separated nets which arise via these constructions, focusing par...
متن کاملHydrophobic Coupling of Lipid Bilayer Energetics to Channel Function
The hydrophobic coupling between membrane-spanning proteins and the lipid bilayer core causes the bilayer thickness to vary locally as proteins and other "defects" are embedded in the bilayer. These bilayer deformations incur an energetic cost that, in principle, could couple membrane proteins to each other, causing them to associate in the plane of the membrane and thereby coupling them functi...
متن کاملApplication of rate-equilibrium free energy relationship analysis to nonequilibrium ion channel gating mechanisms
Rate-equilibrium free energy relationship (REFER) analysis provides information on transition-state structures and has been applied to reveal the temporal sequence in which the different regions of an ion channel protein move during a closed-open conformational transition. To date, the theory used to interpret REFER relationships has been developed only for equilibrium mechanisms. Gating of mos...
متن کاملPsuedokinetics Arising from the Upscaling of Equilibrium
Multicomponent contaminant transport models in groundwater are typically based on assumptions of local geochemical equilibrium on the grid scale. In heterogenous systems there may be significant coupling between transport processes and geochemical equilibrium at smaller than grid block scale. When these processes are upscaled to grid scale, geochemical evolution may take on a kinetic character....
