Abstract:
Lateral transport and release of protons at the water–membrane interface play crucial roles in cell bioenergetics. Therefore, versatile techniques need to be developed for investigating as well as clarifying the main features of these processes at the molecular level. Here, we experimentally measured the kinetics of binding of protons released from the photoactivated compound sodium 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl sulfate (MNPS) at the surface of a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM). We developed a theoretical model of this process describing the damage of MNPS coupled with the release of the protons at the

Acidosis and its associated pathologies predispose patients to develop cardiac arrhythmias and even cardiac arrest. These arrhythmias are assumed to be the result of membrane depolarization, however, the exact mechanism of depolarization during acidosis is not well defined. In our study, the model of quantum tunneling of protons is used to explain the membrane depolarization that occurs during acidosis. It is found that protons can tunnel through closed activation and inactivation gates of voltage-gated sodium channels Nav1.5 that are present in the membrane of cardiac cells. The quantum tunne

Much of the water desalination strategies has focused on designing pores and membranes that transport water and reject ions and other molecules at a high rate. In this paper, we discuss an approach where protons (H+) and hydroxide (OH−) ions are transported via different mechanisms through a porous membrane, and subsequently, once they have been transported through the membrane, they recombine to generate water. 2D materials such as graphene and MoS2 have generated significant interest for applications such as desalination.

Abstract:
Mitochondrial ATP synthesis is driven by harnessing the electrochemical gradient of protons (proton motive force) across the mitochondrial inner membrane via the process of chemiosmosis. While there is consensus that the proton gradient is generated by components of the electron transport chain, the mechanism by which protons are supplied to ATP synthase remains controversial. As opposed to a global coupling model whereby protons diffuse into the intermembrane space, a localised coupling model predicts that protons remain closely associated with the lipid membrane prior to interaction with ATP

Abstract:
CytcO (cytochrome c oxidase) is a membrane-bound multisubunit protein which catalyses the reduction of O2 to H2O. The reaction is arranged topographically so that the electrons and protons are taken from opposite sides of the membrane and, in addition, it is also linked to proton pumping across the membrane. Thus the CytcO moves an equivalent of two positive charges across the membrane per electron transferred to O2. Proton transfer through CytcO must be controlled by the protein to prevent leaks, which would dissipate the proton electrochemical gradient that is maintained across the membrane.

Consequently, these proteins behave like rectifiers, conducting protons out of cells. Their activity has electrical consequences and also changes the pH on both sides of the membrane.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;Microbial fuel cell (MFC) represents a major bioelectrochemical system that converts biomass spontaneously into electricity through the activity of microorganisms. The MFC consists of anode and cathode compartments. Microorganisms in MFC liberate electrons while the electron donor is consumed. The produced electron is transmitted to the anode surface, but the generated protons must pass through the proton exchange membrane (PEM) to reach the cathode compartment. PEM, as a key factor, affects electricity generation in MFCs. The study attempted to investigate if the sulfonated polystyre

Abstract:
A proton exchange membrane (PEM) is an important component of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) from the viewpoint of proton transport. Only protons are desired to be transported through a membrane, but the feed gases also permeate. The permeation of the feed gas through a membrane affects the PEFC performance. Temperature and relative humidity dependencies of the hydrogen and oxygen permeability through a perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membrane were measured. By considering that a membrane consists of three layers, i.e. a bulk layer sandwiched between skin layers, the transport properties

Abstract:
The human Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a plasma membrane transport protein that plays an important role in pH regulation in mammalian cells. Because of the generation of protons by intermediary metabolism as well as the negative membrane potential, protons accumulate within the cytosol. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-mediated regulation of NHE1 is important in several human pathologies including in the myocardium in heart disease, as well as in breast cancer as a trigger for growth and metastasis. NHE1 has a N-terminal, a 500 amino acid membrane domain, and a C-terminal 31

Abstract:
Proton relay between interfacial water molecules allows rapid two-dimensional diffusion. An energy barrier, ΔGr‡, opposes proton-surface-to-bulk release. The ΔGr‡-regulating mechanism thus far has remained unknown. Here, we explored the effect interfacial charges have on ΔGr‡’s enthalpic and entropic constituents, ΔGH‡ and ΔGS‡, respectively. A light flash illuminating a micrometer-sized membrane patch of a free-standing planar lipid bilayer released protons from an adsorbed hydrophobic caged compound. A lipid-anchored pH-sensitive dye reported protons’ arrival at a distant membrane patch. Int

Abstract:
Otopetrins represents a group of membrane proteins that function as proton-selective ion channels. Existing evidence indicates that Otop1, the eponym of the family, is a likely molecular sensor of protons involved in detecting acid stimuli in taste cells of type III. Acid stimuli is believed to initiate an inward current carried by protons through receptive apical membrane to depolarize a type III cell and trigger a train of action potentials driving afferent neurotransmission. While many details of this rather complicated process have not been uncovered yet, mathematical modelling could provi

This report demonstrates that Ca2+, Mg2+, and protons alter the ability of polymyxin B (PX, a cationic antibiotic used clinically as a bactericidal agent) to increase the apical membrane conductance of the rabbit urinary bladder. Using electrophysiological methods, we determine that these alterations occur by two mechanisms. First, they blocked the PX-induced conductance in a rapid and reversible manner; second, they competed with PX for a membrane binding site. In addition, Ca2+(but not Mg2+or protons) altered the rate at which the induced conductance could be reversed. When solution pH was g

P-type ATPase are ubiquitous transport proteins across all kingdoms of life. These proteins share a common mechanism involving phosphorylation of an invariant aspartate to facilitate movement of substrates from protons to phospholipids across cellular membranes. In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Welle et al. identify a conserved cysteine near the functionally critical aspartate of P-type plasma membrane H+-ATPases that protects the protein from reactive oxygen species.

Cytochrome oxidase (COX) is the terminal component of electron transport chain of the respiratory system in mitochondria, and one of the key enzymes responsible for energy generation in cells. COX functions as a proton pump that utilizes free energy of oxygen reduction for translocation of protons across the mitochondrion membrane. The proton gradient created in the process is later utilized to drive synthesis of ATP. Although the structure of COX has been recently resolved, the molecular mechanism of proton pumping remains unknown. In this paper, general principles and possible molecular mech

The synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) is used to treat metastatic carcinomas and prostate cancer. We studied its interaction with membranes and its localization to understand its mechanism of action and side-effects. We used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showing that DES fluidized the membrane and has poor solubility in DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) in the fluid state. Using small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD), it was observed that DES increased the thickness of the water layer between phospholipid membranes, indicating effects on the membrane surface.

Abstract:
The atomic structures of the first members of the Amt/MEP/Rh family show that they are 11-crossing membrane proteins that form trimers in the membrane. Each monomer supports a hydrophobic channel that conducts NH3but not any water or ions. The reprotonation of NH3on the receiving side raises the pH on that side in the absence of metabolism of NH3, and there is no transfer of protons through the protein.
