Membrane adenosine triphosphatase as a participant in the active transport of sodium and potassium in the human erythrocyte.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that an adenosine triphosphatase in broken human erythrocyte membranes is a part of the system for the active transport of sodium and potassium in intact ery Throthrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy limitation as a selective pressure on the evolution of sensory systems

TL;DR: Assessing evidence from a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate examples, it is shown that reducing energy expenditure can account for many of the morphological features of sensory systems and has played a key role in their evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the sodium–potassium pump

TL;DR: The X-ray crystal structure of the pig renal Na+,K+-ATPase with two rubidium ions bound (as potassium congeners) in an occluded state in the transmembrane part of the α-subunit is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Further investigations on a Mg++ + Na+-activated adenosintriphosphatase, possibly related to the active, linked transport of Na+ and K+ across the nerve membrane

TL;DR: The observations lend further support to the suggestion made previously that this enzyme is involved in the active, linked transport of Na+ and K+ across the nerve membrane.

Purification and properties of an adenosine triphosphatase from sarcoplasmic reticulum

TL;DR: An adenosine triphosphatase has been purified approximately 6-fold from sarcoplasmic reticulum through the use of deoxycholate and salt fractionation and the rate of ATP-ADP exchange and the level of phosphorylation are both increased by a factor commensurate with the increase in ATPase activity.
