Generating controlled molecular gradients in 3D gels.
A new method for producing molecular gradients of arbitrary shape in thin three dimensional gels is described. Patterns are produced on the surface of the gel by printing with a micropump that dispenses small droplets of solution at controlled rates. The molecules in the solution rapidly diffuse into the gel and create a smooth concentration profile that is independent of depth. The pattern is ...

متن کاملInduction of transmembrane proton transfer by mercurials in mitochondria. I. Ion movements accompanying transmembrane proton transfer.
The induction of energized proton release by mercurials in beef heart mitochondria appears to be mediated through the “activation” of an endogenous mitochondrial Na+/K+ ionophore. The effects of mercurials on mitochondria can be duplicated by the addition in their place of either purified mitochondrial Na+/K+ ionophore or a classical ionophorous species (e.g. gramicidin). Mitochondria which are...
متن کاملpossible molecular mechanisms for paramecium learning
learning is a cornerstone of intelligent behavior in animals. this behavior has been mostly studied in organisms with a fairly complex nervous system. however, recent reports of learning in unicellular organisms suggested the existence of associative learning in unicellular organisms. in particular, the capability to associate different light intensities with cathodal stimulation in paramecium ...
متن کاملProton Gradients and Proton-Dependent Transport Processes in the Chloroplast
Proton gradients are fundamental to chloroplast function. Across thylakoid membranes, the light induced -proton gradient is essential for ATP synthesis. As a result of proton pumping into the thylakoid lumen, an alkaline stromal pH develops, which is required for full activation of pH-dependent Calvin Benson cycle enzymes. This implies that a pH gradient between the cytosol (pH 7) and the strom...
