TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply implicit numerical methods to solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation for confined systems, where the boundary conditions for hard walls are derived from physical principles.

TL;DR: M maltose transport in membrane vesicles in the presence of varying concentrations of unliganded maltose-binding protein but with constant amounts of maltose was measured and found that the initial rate of transport went through a maximum with increasing amounts of binding protein and declined thereafter, which strongly supports the conclusion that both the liganded and the unliganding forms of the binding protein interact with the membrane components of the transport system.

TL;DR: The overall transport process is dissected into three individual steps and it seems likely that both the loaded and the unloaded forms of the binding protein interact with the membrane components, and this should generally be considered in binding-protein-dependent transport systems.

TL;DR: The predictions of the model are discussed with regard to the results obtained from experiments with syntrophic cocultures of different species of H1-producing acetogenic bacteria in combination with H2-consuming bacteria.

TL;DR: A mathematical proof for the applicability of the Michaelis-Menten theory to the analysis of binding protein-dependent transport systems is presented and determination of the alteration of KM and Vmax of the system at varying concentrations of binding Protein.
