Free-Energy Coupling Mediated by Dynamic Interactions between Membrane Proteins

  • Chapter
Modern Trends in Biothermokinetics

Abstract

The influence of an external oscillating electric field on membrane enzymes has been experimentally observed on different systems. The rate of transport of Na+ and K+ by Na+,K+-ATPase in erythrocytes1 and the synthesis of ATP in plant protoplasts2 have been experimentally studied as a function of frequency and amplitude of the applied oscillating field.
