New York, NY - A toxin isolated from coral reefs has enabled US scientists to better understand exactly how the sodium/potassium ion pump works and may ultimately help them to design molecules to make ...

The structure of the sodium-potassium pump is presented in a schematic cell membrane. The extracellular space is situated above and the intracellular space below the figure. The left-hand side of the ...

Researchers applied functional and structural analyses to investigate what structural features of proton/potassium (H+/K+) pumps and sodium/potassium (Na+/K+) pumps lead them to regulate the passage ...

“His tireless struggle to tell politicians and the outside world about the importance of non-targeted funding for research has had a huge impact on the research environment,” Lars Bo Nielsen, dean of ...

Researchers at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) investigated a pump-induced disease and defined the molecular mechanism that triggers it. The study, "On the effect of ...

The Nobel laureate was the first to identify an enzyme moving material across the cell membrane. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is ...
