It's not visible to the naked eye and you can't feel it. However, up to 40 per cent of your body's energy goes into supplying the microscopic sodium-potassium pump with the energy it needs. It's not ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In 2013, scientists made an unexpected discovery while investigating the marine bacterium Krokinobacter eikastus. In its cellular membrane, the bacterium had a previously unknown type of ion ...

Active transport is the cell’s way of moving molecules against the flow, using energy to keep life running smoothly. From sodium-potassium pumps to bulk transport, these processes maintain balance and ...

A newly discovered serious disease which causes children to suffer epileptic seizures, loss of magnesium in urine and reduced intelligence has been mapped by Professor Bente Vilsen from Aarhus ...

“His tireless struggle to tell politicians and the outside world about the importance of non-targeted funding for research has had a huge impact on the research environment,” Lars Bo Nielsen, dean of ...

Researchers have succeeded in identifying the mechanisms involved in what is known as the acid pump, which at the cellular level pumps acid into the stomach -- in some cases leading to gastric ulcers ...
