Channel-facilitated molecular transport across membranes: attraction, repulsion, and asymmetry.

Transport of molecules across membrane channels is investigated theoretically using exactly solvable discrete stochastic site-binding models. It is shown that the interaction potential between molecules and the channel has a strong effect on translocation dynamics. The presence of attractive binding sites in the pore accelerates the particle current for small concentrations outside the membrane...

Lxvi. the Estimation of Carnosine in Muscle Extract-a

IN a recent communication [Hunter, 1921] a colorimetric method for the estimation of carnosine in muscle extract was generally outlined. This was based on a method of estimation of iminazoles devised by Koessler and Hanke [1919, 1]. This method depended on the coupling of carnosine with diazotised sulphanilic acid in alkaline solution to form an azo dye. The colour produced was measured against...

International Union of Pharmacology. LXVI. Orphan nuclear receptors.

Half of the members of the nuclear receptors superfamily are so-called "orphan" receptors because the identity of their ligand, if any, is unknown. Because of their important biological roles, the study of orphan receptors has attracted much attention recently and has resulted in rapid advances that have helped in the discovery of novel signaling pathways. In this review we present the main fea...
