New research results show how active transport of potassium can be achieved by a membrane protein complex that has roots in both ion pump and ion channel super-families. The results shed new light on ...
The story of the sodium-potassium pump has strong ties to Denmark. In 1997, the Danish scientist Jens Chr. Skou received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery, and over the years, research on ...
Defying one of biology’s more persistent dogmas, a potassium channel combines functions once thought to be invariably asunder. This channel, which is found in common bacteria, incorporates a subunit ...
A balanced potassium household is critical for the survival of both people and bacteria. As bacteria are exposed to much greater fluctuations in environmental conditions, the controlled intake of ...

Researchers at The Rockefeller University report using palytoxin, a deadly coral-derived toxin, to pry open perhaps the ion pump's deepest secret: that it is essentially a more elaborate version ...
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 function of every cell in our bodies depends on the work of proteins known as ion pumps. Several new crystal structures cast fresh light on how three different pumps deal with their distinct ...
A newly discovered serious disease which causes children to suffer epileptic seizures, loss of magnesium in urine and reduced intelligence has been mapped by Professor Bente Vilsen from Aarhus ...
