Iron Transport Across Biologic Membranes
Nutrition Reviews, 2009Iron is essential for life, but is toxic in excess. Nearly all organisms have therefore developed regulated mechanisms for efficient transport of iron into cells. This paper reviews the current understanding of iron transport, focusing on valuable lessons from studies of yeast iron transport and the discovery of the first mammalian transmembrane iron ...

Transport Pathways in Biological Membranes
Annual Review of Physiology, 1974This review deals with transport through biological membranes. The term "mem brane" is used in a purely pragmatic sense: a sheet of unstirred material separating two solutions that can be considered well stirred. What unifies the concept of membrane is its physical function as a barrier as well as the methods by which such structures can be studied ...

Anion Transporters and Biological Systems
Accounts of Chemical Research, 2013In this Account, we discuss the development of new lipid bilayer anion transporters based on the structure of anionophoric natural products (the prodigiosins) and purely synthetic supramolecular systems. We have studied the interaction of these compounds with human cancer cell lines, and, in general, the most active anion transporter compounds possess ...

Transport Through Biological Membranes
Annual Review of Physiology, 1959The following topics are omitted from this review: transport across plant membranes, capillary permeability, and participation of ion transfer in cardiac activity. Two symposia of general interest were published: Metabolic A spects of Transport A cross Cell Membranes (200) and Hormonal Control of Water and Salt-Electrolyte Metabolism in Vertebrates (33)

Biological transportation networks: Modeling and simulation
Analysis and Applications, 2016We present a model for biological network formation originally introduced by Cai and Hu [Adaptation and optimization of biological transport networks, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111 (2013) 138701]. The modeling of fluid transportation (e.g., leaf venation and angiogenesis) and ion transportation networks (e.g., neural networks) is explained in detail and basic ...

Biological membranes. Transport mechanisms
2022The main purpose of this schoolbook is to consider issues related to the molecular mechanisms of transport of metabolites across biological membranes, as well as issues of energy transformation of both chemical reactions and osmotic gradients in living systems.

Biological membranes. Transport mechanisms
2023The purpose of this textbook is to examine the molecular mechanisms of metabolite transport across biological membranes, as well as energy transformation in living cells. The schoolbook also presents current data on the structure and functions of biological membranes and their role in the regulation of signal transduction and vesicular traffic.

Biological transport processes
1989Transport processes are an integral part of biological function. For example, the energy converting processes which we have discussed in the previous chapters need a continuous supply of substrates and a continuous disposal of products and waste. It is evident that there can be no respiration when there are no means for oxygen and substrates (glucose ...

Transportation of Biological Materials
1987As the use of genetically altered microorganisms increases, so will the need to transport these materials. Although the shipment of bioengineered materials raises fewer direct environmental concerns than intentional release or scale-up manufacturing, some important regulatory questions are presented.

Reactive Sites and Biological Transport
1961Publisher Summary Biological barriers are studded with a variety of reactive sites that favor the passage of suitable molecules; in some cases, mechanisms that seem inherently improbable deliver the molecules from these sites against electrochemical gradients, either normally or when a gradient of an analog is artifically produced. In their aggregate,
