Transmembrane anion transport mediated by halogen-bond donors.
In biology and chemistry, the transport of anions across lipid bilayer membranes is usually achieved by sophisticated supramolecular architectures. Significant size reduction of transporters is hampered by the intrinsically hydrophilic nature of typical anion-binding functionalities, hydrogen-bond donors or cations. To maximize the atom efficiency of anion transport, the hydrophobic nature, dir...
متن کاملThe Halogen Bond
The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic region in another, or the same, molecular entity. In this fairly extensive review, after a brief history of the interaction, we will provide the reader with a snapshot of where the research on the halogen bond is n...
متن کاملA Kinetic Investigation of a Carrier-Mediated Transport through a Bulk Liquid Membrane
The kinetics of the potassium thiocyanate transport mediated by dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (L) through a bulk liquid membrane is studied experimentally and theoretically. The proposed model is based on the assumption of a pure diffusion of the complex salt [K·L]+SCN¯ through the liquid membrane stagnant films at the interfaces. It illustrates the ...
متن کاملNucleocytoplasmic transport: Driving and directing transport
Nucleocytoplasmic transport involves assembly and movement across the nuclear envelope of cargo-receptor complexes that interact with the small GTPase Ran. The asymmetric distribution of Ran regulator proteins, RanGAP1 and RCC1, provides the driving force and directionality for nuclear transport.
متن کاملDirecting Traffic at the Neuromuscular Junction
Motor nerves activate muscles via the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that binds to muscle cells’ acetylcholine receptors. The occupied receptors then allow Na+ ions into the muscle cells, depolarizing them and causing them to contract. This transmission of signals across the neuromuscular junction is most efficient when the receptors are positioned close to the sites of acetylchol...
