Ionophores, molecules that carry ions across [mitochondrial], membranes, are essential tools in the study of chemiosmotic mechanisms... The ionophore valinomy is a cyclic molecule that is soluble in membranes and selectively carries potassium ions(K+). Nigericin also transports potassium, but only in exchange for protons; it is insoluble in the membrane unless one ion or the other is bound. 1, record 1, English, - nigericin

Les ionophores, molécules qui transportent les ions à travers les membranes (mitochondriales) sont des outils essentiels dans l'étude des mécanismes chimiosmotiques (...) La valinomycine est un ionophore; c'est une molécule cyclique qui est soluble dans les membranes et transporte sélectivement les ions potassium (K+). La nigécirine transporte aussi le potassium mais seulement en l'échangeant avec des protons; elle est insoluble dans la membrane sauf lorsqu'elle est liée à l'un de ces ions. 1, record 1, French, - nig%C3%A9ricine

The ionophore valinomy is a cyclic molecule that is soluble in membranes and selectively carries potassium ions(K+). Nigericin also transports potassium, but only in exchange for protons; it is insoluble in the membrane unless one ion or the other is bound. Gramicidin A forms a pore in the membrane, made up of two helical molecules, that is permeable to ions with one positive charge. 1, record 2, English, - gramicidin%20A
