A plant derived compound inhibits this pump. Which of the following are likely to occur if cells are exposed to this compound. The direction of movement is not obvious but could be determined using the Nernst equation. Membrane proteins have been difficult to study. Give two reasons why this is the case.
Membrane proteins are difficult to purify especially in an active form.
Therefore, the activity of these proteins cannot be studied with isolated proteins alone. Using the diagram below give an example of each of the following that is known to occur in animal cells. For each show the solute transported and its direction of transport. You have set out to study a new class of membrane transport protein. You first successfully cloned the gene and so were able to predict the amino acid sequence of the protein.
