  2. can study the membrane composition and ion channels
33
Q

rate of flow of ion currents through ion channel

34
Q

direction of equilibrium constant of flux is determined by these two factors

A
  1. electrical potential difference on outside/inside cell membrane
  2. concentration gradient inside/outside

V = IR

volts, current (amps), resistance (ohms)

43
Q

conductance formula

44
Q

slope of the IV curve gives blank in these units

45
Q

rate of current depends on the concentration of blank in the solution

46

laws of binding of ions to special aa along the pore of an ion channel

A

electrodiffusion

48
Q

ligand concentration at which current reaches half of the max current

A

dissociation constant

49
Q

A

chimeric channles

55

1,3 binding sites is the blank configuration

75
Q

high energetic cost for a potassium to enter lipid bilayer is minimized by two parts:
