Autonomous pump against concentration gradient
Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods, we have studied the molecular transport in asymmetric nanochannels. The efficiency of the molecular pump depends on the angle and apertures of the asymmetric channel, the environmental temperature and average concentration of the particles. The pumping effect can be explained as the competition between the molecular force field a...
متن کاملGradient Plate for Hicomb Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Test
Abstract Background and objectives: "The comb antibiotic sensitivity test" is a quick, reliable and cost effective method to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to different antibiotics. The purpose of this study is to design a plate that is easy and quick to use, and enable to be interpreted easily without the need for measurement of the margins with a ruler. Material and Method...
متن کاملOxygen concentration influences proton pump inhibitor activity against Helicobacter pylori in vitro.
Omeprazole and lansoprazole are proton pump inhibitors that have shown activity against Helicobacter pylori and other Helicobacter species when tested by agar dilution. Lansoprazole was more active against H. pylori than was omeprazole, and the activity was independent of urease production. Disk susceptibility tests and agar dilution MIC determinations were performed to investigate the effects ...
متن کاملEvidence against a Second Pump
hibited portion of outflux was dependent on Nao, it was independent of K.. Contrary to expectations, Na influx did not change when intracellular Na was altered. No uphill, net Na transport (ouabain-uninhibited) could be demonstrated under a variety of circumstances. Furosemide at high concentrations inhibited ATPase, reducing both ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-insensitive enzyme at 1.0 mM conce...
متن کاملInsulin-Induced Accumulation of D-Xylose Against an Apparent Concentration Gradient in Diaphragm Muscle, in Vivo
The effect of insulin administration upon D-xylose-1-C(14) penetration into the diaphragm and gastrocnemius muscles of functionally nephrectomized normal, hypophysectomized, and adrenalectomized rats has been examined. It was found in all groups that after the administration of tracer amounts of D-xylose, this sugar enters the cell water of diaphragm to a greater extent than in gastrocnemius mu...
