Kinetics of Membrane Transport during Chloroplast
In the course of plastid development there are changes in the permeability of the envelope membranes. An investigation of the kinetics of transport with largely uncontaminated and intact etioplast/etiochloroplast preparations from greening Avena sativa laminae demonstrates: (a) that etioplasts already possess specific translocators for the transportation of orthophosphate, dihydroxyacetone phos...
متن کاملActivity assay of membrane transport proteins.
Membrane transport proteins are integral membrane proteins and considered as potential drug targets. Activity assay of transport proteins is essential for developing drugs to target these proteins. Major issues related to activity assessment of transport proteins include availability of transporters, transport activity of transporters, and interactions between ligands and transporters. Research...
متن کاملKinetics and mechanism of proton transport across membrane nanopores.
We use computer simulations to study the kinetics and mechanism of proton passage through a narrow-pore carbon-nanotube membrane separating reservoirs of liquid water. Free energy and rate constant calculations show that protons move across the membrane diffusively along single-file chains of hydrogen-bonded water molecules. Proton passage through the membrane is opposed by a high barrier in th...
متن کاملAn optical assay of the transport activity of ClC-7
Osteoporosis, characterized by excessive osteoclast mediated bone resorption, affects millions of people worldwide representing a major public health problem. ClC-7 is a chloride-proton exchanger localized in lysosomes and in the resorption lacuna in osteoclasts where it is essential for bone resorption. Thus, drugs targeted at ClC-7 have been proposed for ameliorating osteoporosis. However, fu...
متن کاملColorimetric microwell plate reverse-hybridization assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection.
Direct smear examination using Ziehl-Neelsen staining for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) diagnosis is inexpensive and easy to use, but has the major limitation of low sensitivity. Rapid molecular methods are becoming more widely available in centralized laboratories, but they depend on timely reporting of results and strict quality assurance obtainable only from costly commercial kits available i...
