Targeting the Sodium–Potassium Pump as a Therapeutic Strategy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The figure shows the tunnel-like entry point to the binding sites of the sodium-potassium pump in the sodium-bound state. The three small sodium ions are bound inside the pump (violet spheres to the ...

Researchers have established the structure of a crucial enzyme -- the so-called sodium-potassium pump -- which forms part of every cell in the human body. The result may pave the way for a better ...

Researchers from Aarhus University have collaborated with a Japanese group of researchers to establish the structure of a crucial enzyme—the so-called sodium-potassium pump—which forms part of every ...

Sodium And Potassium Pump 6

New York, NY - A toxin isolated from coral reefs has enabled US scientists to better understand exactly how the sodium/potassium ion pump works and may ultimately help them to design molecules to make ...

Sodium And Potassium Pump 7

The story of the sodium-potassium pump has strong ties to Denmark. In 1997, the Danish scientist Jens Chr. Skou received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery, and over the years, research on ...
