A minimal hypothesis for membrane-linked free-energy transduction. The role of independent, small coupling units.
Experimental data are reviewed that are not in keeping with the scheme of 'delocalized' protonic coupling in membrane-linked free-energy transduction. It turns out that there are three main types of anomalies: (i) rates of electron transfer and of ATP synthesis do not solely depend on their own driving force and on delta mu H, (ii) the ('static head') ratio of delta Gp to delta mu H varies with...
متن کاملA structural basis for mosaic protonic energy coupling.
to any given H + :P ratio. If the ratio is 3 and the permittivity 20, the distance is approximately 0.3nm. Unlike the electrochemical parameters, $“+ values do not depend on a cumulative ion effect; one proton alone at the right distance from a fixed charge will be at the potential required for synthetic activity. On these terms the rate of synthesis is determined by the number of charge<harge ...
متن کاملA critique of the chemosmotic model of energy coupling.
The chemosmotic model provides a framework for visualizing energy-coupled reactions (vectorial reaction sequences, membrane-dependent gradient formation, and charge separation of reacting species) and a mechanism for energy coupling (indirect coupling between the driving and driven reaction sequences mediated by a membrane potential or a protonmotive force). The mechanistic parameters of this m...
متن کاملBinding-protein Mediated Transport Systems at Maximal Activity Have Increased Effective Substrate Concentrations and Invest Free Energy in Binding-protein Unloading
Many microorganisms rely on binding-protein (BP) assisted, active transport systems for scavenging of scarce nutrients. Several hypotheses have been raised to explain the advantage of such uptake systems; attempting to rationalise the benefits of the relatively high BP concentrations in the periplasm and the coupling of transport to free energy transduction. Despite the appeal of these hypothes...
متن کاملThe laws of cell energetics.
Recent progress in membrane bioenergetics studies has resulted in the important discovery that Na+ can effectively substitute for H+ as the energy coupling ion. This means that living cells can possess three convertible energy currencies, i.e. ATP, protonic and sodium potentials. Analysis of interrelations of these components in various types of living cells allows bioenergetic laws of universa...
