69
Q

What are two examples of ABC transporters and their differential uses of ATP

A

Multidrug resistance transporters - use ATP to actively transport their substrates

CFTR - ATP regulates its function as an ion channel (can also as a modulator of other proteins). ATP needed for Cl- channel to open.

70
Q

Define steady state in terms of flux and ions

A

Ions move at the same rate. the flux is constant with time, but it is not zero
