Chapter 4, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The factor that determines the magnitude of flux across a membrane in a mediated-transport system.
Introduction: Movements of ions and molecules across the cell membrane are regulated by a set of transport mechanisms that are collectively termed as membrane transport mechanisms. The passage of some large molecules and the movement of non-diffusional ions are mediated by some integral membrane proteins called transporters. The mechanism of movement of these substances is known as mediated transport that basically depends on the conformational changes in the protein transporters.
