EMBRANES

The cytoplasmic domain of the P-subunit displays three distinct sub-domains (a) the juxtam-embrane domain , implicated in recognition/binding of intracellular substrate molecules (b) the tyrosine kinase domain, which (upon receptor activation) displays tyrosine kinase activity (c) the C-terminal domain, whose exact function is less clear, although site-directed mutagenesis studies implicate it promoting insulin s mitogenic effects. 

This colored electron microscope image depicts a synapse between the presynaptic embrane, shown in pink, and the postsynaptic membrane, shown in green. The slightly thickened area between the pre- and postsynaptic cells is part of the synapse. Small circles in the presynaptic cell are vesicles containing neurotransmitters.

The AP(X) profile is computed as the preference profiles difference P(A ) , embrane / ( Ocxiramembrane The preference profile for the transmembrane state is smoothed in a window of width 7, while the preference profile for the extramembrane state is not smoothed. Each observed (extracted from the swiss-PROT data bank) and predicted (based on digitalized form of the AP X) profile—see Section 5.3.6) transmembrane segment is denoted by a horizontal line.

Water is produced at the cathode/membrane interface, and it must be transported to the anode and cathode flow channels to be removed. At present, we do not have a direct measurement of the water activity in the membrane (the partial pressure of water in the membrane, p> embrane do know the water content in the effluent streams. The experimental data may be integrated from the known initial water content (after the water injection) to the steady state current and partial pressures of water. Integration of Eq. (3.4) gives the steady state membrane water content for known water partial pressure at the anode and cathode. Effective mass transfer coefficients for water from the cathode/membrane interface to the cathode gas flow channel and from the cathode/membrane interface to the... 

N EMBRANES that isolate distinct solutions and permit selective passage of chemical species are fundamental features of life processes. Considerable success has been achieved in the development of artificial membranes for the separation of a wide variety of ionic and molecular species. With sales of membrane separation systems surpassing 1 billion annually, membrane science is an extremely important topic for current and future technology.
