16. Lipid Bilayer -- primary barrier, selectively permeable Membrane Transport

17. Membrane Transport • Simple Diffusion（单纯扩散） • Facilitated Diffusion（易化扩散） • Active Transport（主动转运） • Endocytosis and Exocytosis（出胞与入胞）

18. START: Initially higher concentration of molecules randomly move toward lower concentration. Over time, solute molecules placed in a solvent will evenly distribute themselves. Diffusional equilibrium is the result (Part b).

19. At time B, some glucose has crossed into side 2 as some cross into side 1.

20. Note: the partition between the two compartments is a membrane that allows this solute to move through it. Net flux accounts for solute movements in both directions.

21. Simple Diffusion • Relative to the concentration gradient • movement is DOWN the concentration gradient ONLY (higher concentration to lower concentration) • Rate of diffusion depends on • The concentration gradient • Charge on the molecule • Size • Lipid solubility

22. Facilitated Diffusion • Carrier-mediated

23. In simple diffusion, flux rate is limited only by the concentration gradient. In carrier- mediated transport, the number of available carriers places an upper limit on the flux rate.

24. Characteristics of carrier-mediated diffusion net movement always depends on the concentration gradient • Specificity • Saturation • Competition

25. Channel-mediated 3 cartoon models of integral membrane proteins that function as ion channels; the regulated opening and closing of these channels is the basis of how neurons function.

26. The opening and closing of ion channels results from conformational changes in integral proteins. Discovering the factors that cause these changes is key to understanding excitable cells.

27. Characteristics of ion channels • Specificity • Gating（门控）

28. Three types of passive, non-coupled transport through integral membrane proteins

31. I II III IV Outside + + + + + + + + + + + + Inside NH2 CO2H Voltage-gated Channel • e.g. Voltage-dependent Na+ channel

32. Na+ channel

33. Na+ channel Balloonfish or fugu

34. Closed Activated Inactivated Na+ channel conformation • Open-state • Closed-state

35. Ligand-gated Channel • e.g. N2-ACh receptor channel

36. Aquaporin • Aquaporins are water channels that exclude ions • Aquaporins are found in essentially all organisms, and have major biological and medical importance

37. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003 "for structural and mechanistic studies of ion channels" "for discoveries concerning channels in cell membranes" "for the discovery of water channels" Peter Agre Roderick MacKinnon

38. The dividing wall between the cell and the outside world – including other cells – is far from being an impervious shell. On the contrary, it is perforated by various channels. Many of these are specially adapted to one specific ion or molecule and do not permit any other type to pass. Here to the left we see a water channel and to the right an ion channel.

39. Peter Agre’s experiment with cells containing or lacking aquaporin. The aquaporin is necessary for making the cell absorb water and swell

40. Passage of water molecules through the aquaporin AQP1. Because of the positive charge at the center of the channel, positively charged ions such as H3O+, are deflected. This prevents proton leakage through the channel.

41. Model for water permeation through aquaporin

42. membrane In both simple and facilitated diffusion, solutes move in the direction predicted by the concentration gradient. In active transport, solutes move opposite to the direction predicted by the concentration gradient.

43. Active transport • Primary active transport（原发性主动转运） • Secondary active transport（继发性主动转运）

44. Primary Active Transport making direct use of energy derived from ATP to transport the ions across the cell membrane

45. Here, in the operation of the Na+-K+-ATPase, also known as the “sodium pump,” each ATP hydrolysis moves three sodium ions out of, and two potassium ions into, the cell.

46. Na-K Pump electrogenic pump（生电性泵）

49. Maintaining the Na+ and K+ gradients across the cell membrane • Partly responsible for establishing a negative electrical potential inside the cell • Controlling cell volume • Providing energy for secondary active transport Physiological role of Na+-K+ pump

50. Other primary active transport • Primary active transport of calcium • Primary active transport of hydrogen ions
