Abstract
In the previously treated systems the driving forces were solute-specific, i.e., they were arranged so as to affect more or less specifically the transport of a single solute species. These driving forces originated from electrochemical potential gradients or from affinities of reactions that were stoichiometrically coupled to the transport system, usually via a solute-specific carrier mechanism.
