P.618 bottom paragraph:"In a series of experiments each of which was similar to that of Fig. 3, rates of D-glucose equilibration across ghost membranes at 24 ° were studied as a function of glucose concentration in the medium. A typical result of such experiments is presented in Fig. 4, where the observed fluxes were correlated with the concentration of the sugar used, according to the double reciprocal form of Lineweaver and Burk [ref 14]. An excellent fit of the data to the kinetics is evident in the figure. Five independent series of such experiments using a ghost preparation derived from different donor individuals gave sets of values for the maximum flux (φmax) and the half-saturation concentration (Km) shown in Table II." See note above & beneath table. Red cell ghost="In a blood smear, a large, pale, crescent-shaped cell devoid of internal contents and produced by hemolysis. Such cells are always indicative of disease." [The free dictionary] |
