Estimate the flux (mg/cm2/s) by diffusion of estrogen (a steroid) through a lipid bilayer cell membrane when assuming the diffusion coefficient for estrogen across the lipid bilayer is 10^–6 cm2/s, and that the initial concentration of estrogen in the extracellular fluid is 1 ng/mL and 0 in the cytoplasm.
A new protein namely protein X has been isolated by molecular biologists. The protein is shown to have a spherical shape and a radius of 12 nm. Before they could measure its diffusion coefficient at 25°C, their device breaks. However, they have data from a previous measurement taken using the same device, at 25°C which showed diffusion coefficient of albumin (spherical with R=3 nm, M= 68,000 g/mol) to be 6.8x10-7 cm2/s. Determine the diffusion coefficient of protein X.
The protein gamma globulin has an isoelectric point of 6.60. Suppose you did a pH titration of a solution containing gamma globulin. At what pH will the protein aggregate?
Acetic acid (a weak acid with a pKa of 4.75) and ethanol (an alcohol) are each composed of two carbons, hydrogen, and oxygen, and both enter cells by passive diffusion. At pH 7, one is much more able to permeate a cellular membrane than the other. Which is more membrane permeable, and why? Predict how the membrane permeability of each is altered when the extracellular pH is reduced to 1.0, a value typical of the stomach.
