BIO 5810 - Transport Across Cell Membranes (3)

Practical and theoretical considerations of water and solute transport across cell membranes. Thorough discussion of the structure and function of major transport proteins including pumps, ion-coupled cotransporters and exchangers, voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels, water channels, and facilitative transporters. Examination of the role of transport proteins as they relate to physiological phenomena such as membrane excitability, vesicle fusion, nutrient absorption, and water homeostasis.
