What is the Trans-Plasma Membrane Electron Transport? Is it different than the Plasma membrane redox system? Please reference.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Trans-plasma membrane electron transport (t-PMET) has been established since the 1960s.

The discovery and characterization at the molecular level of its novel components has increased understanding of how t-PMET regulates distinct cellular functions. This malfunction relates to some diseases, such as cancer, abnormal cell death, cardiovascular diseases, aging, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, and genetically linked pathologies. Understanding these relationships may provide novel therapeutic approaches for pathologies associated with unbalanced redox state.

No it is not different because if you look at the definition PMRS also having the electron transport chain system.

Definition:-

Plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) is an electron transport chain system ubiquitously present in all cell types that transfers electrons from intracellular substrates to extracellular acceptors maintaining redox homeostasis for a successful cell physiology

Transport Across Membranes Trans-membrane transport can occur in 3 different processes. Simple diffusion through an equilibrium channel facilitated diffusion and active transport. To examine these processes we are going to use yeast cells and some simple model systems. Staining with Neutral Red Take a 20ml sample of yeast culture and divide equally into two boiling tubes, Ensure you agitate yeast culture when collecting and dividing to avoid settling. • Next add 5ml NaCO3 solution (1% aq) to each tube • ...
