Researchers have established the structure of a crucial enzyme -- the so-called sodium-potassium pump -- which forms ... "Years ago, when the first electron microscopic images were taken in ...

Six structures exhibited by the rotating sodium ion pump were reconstructed in 3D using cryo-electron microscopy. This analysis revealed that (1) the rotor exhibits non-uniform rotation behavior ...

However, up to 40 per cent of your body's energy goes into supplying the microscopic sodium-potassium pump with the energy ... "Years ago, when the first electron microscopic images were taken ...

Ion channels, which allow potassium and sodium ions to flow in and out ... The direct imaging of the ball-and-chain mechanism, using electron-microscopy techniques, can also provide a new angle ...

Sodium (Na, atomic number 11) is an alkali metal that exists in living systems as Na+ ions. In physiology, it regulates blood volume, blood pressure, osmotic equilibrium and cellular pH.

Ion channels, which allow potassium and sodium ions to flow in and out of cells ... The direct imaging of the ball-and-chain mechanism, using electron-microscopy techniques, can also provide a new ...

Scientists now have a better picture of how voltage-gated sodium (Na v) channels interact with certain animal toxins, thanks to structures solved with cryo-electron microscopy. These channels are ...
