The influence of transmembrane ion gradients on the flux of weak acids and bases across liposomal systems

A primary role of biological membranes is to provide a permeability barrier to ion translocation. This thesis examines how ion gradients and in particular pH gradients influence the net flux of weak acids and bases across membranes. This first requires an understanding of the relationship between tr...
