Abstract

The carrier mechanism shown in figure 1 has been widely used during the last twenty years as a hypothesis to account for the phenomenon of mediated transport across biological membranes (there are recent reviews by Stein, 1967, and Miller, 1969). Full kinetic analyses of the behaviour of carriers of this type have been published (for example, Jacquez, 1964), but they share one common problem.
