Effects of Electric Fields on Membrane-Bound Na, K-ATPase

Abstract

We continued to work on effects of oscillating electric fields on membrane functions, in particular the electric activation of Na, K-ATPase, and to develop theory of electro-conformational coupling. We believe transmembrane electric fields are involved in the regulation of the internal activity of a cell and also in the cell-to-cell communications. An in depth study of Na, K- ATPase will provide useful information concerning the molecular design of a cell to sense and to transmit signals.
