New York, NY - A toxin isolated from coral reefs has enabled US scientists to better understand exactly how the sodium/potassium ion pump works and may ultimately help them to design molecules to make ...

The structure of the sodium-potassium pump is presented in a schematic cell membrane. The extracellular space is situated above and the intracellular space below the figure. The left-hand side of the ...

Researchers have succeeded in identifying the mechanisms involved in what is known as the acid pump, which at the cellular level pumps acid into the stomach -- in some cases leading to gastric ulcers ...
