WHAT DOES IONOPHORE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ionophore

An ionophore is a lipid-soluble molecule usually synthesized by microorganisms to transport ions across the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The two broad classifications of ionophores are: ▪ Chemical compounds that bind to a particular ion, shielding its charge from the surrounding environment, and thus facilitating its crossing of the hydrophobic interior of the lipid membrane ▪ Channel formers that introduce a hydrophilic pore into the membrane, allowing ions to pass through while avoiding contact with the membrane's hydrophobic interior...

Definition of ionophore in the English dictionary

The definition of ionophore in the dictionary is a chemical compound capable of forming a complex with an ion and transporting it through a biological membrane.
