The Occureence of Ouabain-Sensitive, Na-K Stimulated Adenosine Triphosphate in Escherichia Coli

Abstract

In the last decade and a half, there has been considerable accumu­lation of evidence to support the concept of a sodium-potassium stimula­ted adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K ATBase) which is intimately involved in the active transport of ions across biological membranes. Studies of the relationship between the two processes eventually led to an under­ standing of a mechanism of ion transport.
