Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3RE
Summary Introduction
To Determine:
If the given statement 'the carriers are open to a single side of membrane, but the channels are open to both side of the memebrane' is true or false should be determined.
Introduction:
The two prime categories of membrane transport proteins are carrier proteins and channel proteins. The carrier proteins combine with the particular solute to be translocated and go through an array of conformational modifications to move the bound solute through the membrane. The channel proteins, associate with the solute to be translocated much more weakly.
