  2. Gibbs–Donnan effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs–Donnan_effect

    Donnan equilibrium across a cell membrane (schematic). The Gibbs–Donnan effect (also known as the Donnan's effect, Donnan law, Donnan equilibrium, or Gibbs–Donnan equilibrium) is a name for the behaviour of charged particles near a semi-permeable membrane that sometimes fail to distribute evenly across the two sides of the membrane.

    The difference is quite significant when dealing with gases, and it is very important to specify which quantity is being used. For example, the conversion factor between a mass fraction of 1 ppb and a mole fraction of 1 ppb is about 4.7 for the greenhouse gas CFC-11 in air (Molar mass of CFC-11 / Mean molar mass of air = 137.368 / 28.97 = 4.74).

  4. Partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient

    K ow, being a type of partition coefficient, serves as a measure of the relationship between lipophilicity (fat solubility) and hydrophilicity (water solubility) of a substance. The value is greater than one if a substance is more soluble in fat-like solvents such as n-octanol, and less than one if it is more soluble in water.

  5. Solvent effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_effects

    This difference arises from acid/base reactions between protic solvents (not aprotic solvents) and strong nucleophiles. While it is true that steric effects also affect the relative reaction rates, [ 12 ] however, for demonstration of principle for solvent polarity on S N 2 reaction rates, steric effects may be neglected.

  6. Ligand-gated ion channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand-gated_ion_channel

    Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred to as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na +, K +, Ca 2+, and/or Cl − to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

  7. Alginic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alginic_acid

    Sodium alginate (NaC 6 H 7 O 6) is the sodium salt of alginic acid. Sodium alginate is a gum. Potassium alginate (KC 6 H 7 O 6) is the potassium salt of alginic acid. Calcium alginate (CaC 12 H 14 O 12) is the calcium salt of alginic acid. It is made by replacing the sodium ion in sodium alginate with a calcium ion (ion exchange).

  8. Atom transfer radical polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_Transfer_Radical...

    The K ATRP value depends on the homo-cleavage energy of the alkyl halide and the redox potential of the Cu catalyst with different ligands. Given two alkyl halides (R 1-X and R 2-X) and two ligands (L 1 and L 2), there will be four combinations between different alkyl halides and ligands. Let K ij ATRP refer to the K ATRP value for R i-X and L ...

  9. Sodium–potassium pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium–potassium_pump

    The sodium–potassium pump (sodium–potassium adenosine triphosphatase, also known as Na + /K +-ATPase, Na + /K + pump, or sodium–potassium ATPase) is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) found in the membrane of all animal cells. It performs several functions in cell physiology. The Na + /K +-ATPase enzyme is active (i.e. it ...
