Figure 11-1 The relative permeability of a synthetic lipid bilayer to different classes of molecules. The smaller the molecule and, more important, the fewer hydrogen bonds it makes with water, the more rapidly the molecule diffuses across the bilayer. B. The protein-free lipid bilayers are highly impermeable to ions. ❖If uncharged solutes are small enough, they can move down their concentration gradients directly across the lipid bilayer by simple diffusion. ❖Most solutes can cross the membrane only if there is a membrane transport protein to transfer them. ❖Passive transport, in the same direction as a concentration gradient. ❖ Active transport, is mediated by carrier proteins, against a concentration gradient, require an input of energy.

high permeability Figure 11-2 Permeability coefficients (cm/sec)for the passage of various H2O molecules through synthetic lipid bilayers. The rate of flow of a solute across the bilayer is directly proportional to the difference in its concentration on the urea glycerol two sides of the membrane. Multiplying this concentration difference(in mol/cm) tryptophan glucose by the permeability coefficient(cm/sec) gives the flow of solute in moles per second per square centimeter of membrane. a concentration difference of tryptophan of 10-4 mol/cms(10-4/10-L 0.1 M), for example would cause a flow of 10 10-4 mol/cm3x 10-7 cm/sec=10-11 mol/sec through 1 cm2 of membrane or6x 104 10 molecules/sec through 1 microns 2 of low permeability membrane

Whereas the rate of the former is always proportional to the solute concentration, the rate of the latter reaches a maximum( Vmax when the carrier protein is saturated. The solute concentration when transport is at half its maximal value approximates the binding constant (KM) of the carrier for the solute and is analogous to the Km of an enzyme for its substrate. The graph applies to a carrier transporting a single solute; the kinetics of coupled transport of two or more solutes(see text) are more complex but show basically similar phenomena
