The molecular mechanism of hemoglobin-facilitated oxygen diffusion.
Hemoglobin in solution augments the rate of steady state diffusion of oxygen. The flux of oxygen exceeds the diffusive flux by an amount, the facilitated flux, which is constant for a given hemoglobin concentration and is invariant with changing oxygen tension. The facilitated flux is inversely proportional to the length of the diffusion path. Facilitation decreases with increasing molecular si...
متن کاملHemoglobin-facilitated diffusion of oxygen: interfacial and thickness effects.
The equations of facilitated diffusion were solved numerically for steady state diffusion of oxygen across membranes of hemoglobin and myoglobin. An interfacial resistance was included in the boundary conditions and the dependence of the solutions on membrane thickness and interfacial conductance was studied. The data of Wittenberg on millipore membranes was fitted adequately if a tortuosity fa...
متن کاملA facilitated diffusion mechanism establishes the Drosophila Dorsal gradient.
The transcription factor NF-κB plays an important role in the immune system, apoptosis and inflammation. Dorsal, a Drosophila homolog of NF-κB, patterns the dorsal-ventral axis in the blastoderm embryo. During this stage, Dorsal is sequestered outside the nucleus by the IκB homolog Cactus. Toll signaling on the ventral side breaks the Dorsal/Cactus complex, allowing Dorsal to enter the nucleus ...
متن کاملA tri state mechanism for oxygen release in fish hemoglobin: Using Barbus sharpeyi as a model
Hemoglobin is a porphyrin containing protein with an a2b2 tetrameric structure and like other porphyrin compounds shows spectral behavior of species specific characteristics. Researchers tend to relate bands in the hemoglobin spectra to certain structural and/or functional features. Given the fact that hemoglobin is the main oxygen carrier in animals functioning through the Oxy«Deoxy equilibriu...

پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی اثر جیره حاوی کربوهیدراتهای غیرالیافی زیاد و بروز التهاب در گاوهای شیرده در دو آزمایش جداگانه انجام شد. در آزمایش اول 20 رأس گاو مبتلا به ورم پستان از دو گروه کم تولید و پرتولید (هر کدام 10 رأس) و 20 رأس گاو سالم از دو گروه کم تولید و پرتولید (هر کدام 10 رأس) انتخاب شدند. همه گاوها در دوره دوم و یا سوم شیردهی و در روزهای 80-120 پس از زایش بودند. میانگین تولید شیر در گروه...
