Recent progress in membrane bioenergetics studies has resulted in the important discovery that Na+ can effectively substitute for H+ as the energy coupling ion. This means that living cells can possess three convertible energy currencies, i.e. ATP, protonic and sodium potentials. Analysis of interrelations of these components in various types of living cells allows bioenergetic laws of universal applicability to be inferred.
膜生物能量学研究的最新进展带来了一项重要发现,即钠离子可以有效地替代氢离子作为能量偶联离子。这意味着活细胞可以拥有三种可相互转换的能量货币,即三磷酸腺苷(ATP)、质子势和钠势。分析这些组分在各种类型活细胞中的相互关系,有助于推断出具有普遍适用性的生物能量学规律。
