Plasma Membrane-Bound ATPase Mechanisms | Plants

There are many intrinsic membrane ATPases, which can transport ions in one direction across a membrane without being accompanied by an ion of opposite charge giving rise to an electrical potential difference. These intrinsic membrane proteins were variously named as translocases, transferases or penetrases. They depend on ATP as energy source for transport. The allosteric transition of the transport ATPases [...]
