A prominent feature of the pore emerged: when reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers, there is a voltage-dependent switch between an anion-selective high-conductance state with high metabolite flux and a cation-selective low-conductance state with limited passage of metabolites.
Electrolyte imbalance, or water-electrolyte imbalance, is an abnormality in the concentration of electrolytes in the body. Electrolytes play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis in the body.
Additionally a range of polyoxovanadate ions exist which include discrete ions and "infinite" polymeric ions. [2] There are also vanadates, such as rhodium vanadate, RhVO 4 , which has a statistical rutile structure where the Rh 3+ and V 5+ ions randomly occupy the Ti 4+ positions in the rutile lattice, [ 3 ] that do not contain a lattice of ...
For example, the large anionic proteins in blood plasma are not permeable to capillary walls. Because small cations are attracted, but are not bound to the proteins, small anions will cross capillary walls away from the anionic proteins more readily than small cations. Thus, some ionic species can pass through the barrier while others cannot.
Calculating the anion gap is clinically useful because it helps in the differential diagnosis of a number of disease states. [citation needed] The total number of cations (positive ions) should be equal to the total number of anions (negative ions), so that the overall electrical charge is neutral.
If this convention is used, then the values are in the same range as monovalent ions, e.g. 59.5 S cm 2 mol −1 for 1 / 2 Ca 2+ and 80.0 S cm 2 mol −1 for 1 / 2 SO 2− 4. [4] From the ionic molar conductivities of cations and anions, effective ionic radii can be calculated using the concept of Stokes radius.
High anion gap metabolic acidosis is a form of metabolic acidosis characterized by a high anion gap (a medical value based on the concentrations of ions in a patient's serum). Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid , or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.
Structure of vanadyl acetylacetonate Cavansite, a mineral containing the vanadyl cation that illustrates its characteristic color. The vanadyl or oxovanadium(IV) cation, VO 2+, [1] is a functional group that is common in the coordination chemistry of vanadium. Complexes containing this functional group are characteristically blue and paramagnetic.
