CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY TO WATER (LONG-PORE EFFECT)

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0675601 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A mathematical model describing the passage of water through the long narrow pores of a membrane is presented. An interaction between the opposing unidirectional flows of molecules was observed. Equations were obtained for unidirectional flow of water through a membrane. The ratios obtained agree essentially with the experimental data provided by a number of writers on the passage of water through natural membranes and explain the difference in the values for water permeability of membranes obtained from osmotic and isotope experiments.
