Abstract
The (Na+ + K+) ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) is the enzymatic expression of the principal active cation-transport system in eucaryotic cells. In a number of tissues—brain, electric organ, kidney, salt glands, etc.—it constitutes the main mechanism for producing physiological work. Thus the mechanism of this enzyme is of great interest both in terms of cell physiology and molecular biology. The questions of most fundamental interest relate to (1) how the free energy of hydrolysis of ATP is channeled into vectorial work, (2) the molecular structure of the ionophoric mechanism, and (3) how the active transport mechanism is regulated to conform to the requirements of the cell.
