Abstract excerpt
The kinetic behavior of a H(+)-substrate symporter has been studied in which in addition to the unloaded (E) and fully loaded states (E.S.H) of the carrier also one of the binary complexes (E.S or E.H) may reorient its binding sites. This results in two types of uncoupled mutants, the ES leak and the EH leak type. The effects of pH and substrate concentration (pS) on the coupling of transport have been analyzed....
