Compartmentation and Communication in Living Systems. Ligand Conduction: a General Catalytic Principle in Chemical, Osmotic and Chemiosmotic Reaction Systems

摘要: Chemical reactions, like osmotic are transport processes when looked at in detail. catalysis by enzymes or catalytic carriers, and porters, may be conceived as occurring specific ligand-conduction mechanisms. In chemiosmotic reaction systems, the pathways of ligand conduction spatially orientated through anisotropic enzyme carrier complexes which reactions chemical group transfer occur vectorial diffusion translocation down gradients potential that represent real spatially-directed fields force. Thus, it is easier to explain biochemistry terms than biochemistry.
