76
Q

What are the steps of the mechanism of pumps?

A
  1. 3 sodium molecules bind to pump in a specific site. Binding of sodium uses ATP phosphorylation
  2. phosphorylation of ATP releases energy. This energy is used to change the shape of the pump
  3. Sodium can be released outside the cell & 2 potassium molecules move in to attach to a specific site different from where the sodium had attached
  4. the binding of potassium to the pump causes the release of the phosphate group. This makes the pump revert to its original shape
  5. potassium can be released inside the cell. Pump is ready to start again
