Analysis of facilitated transport with fixed site carrier membranes

<br/><br/> A theory is presented which describes the facilitated transport of neutral molecules, such as 02, across fixed site carrier membranes. A main feature of this theory is a derivation of the effective diffusion coefficient for the solute-carrier complex. The results are analogous to facilitated transport in liquid membranes. The model reduces to a form analogous to dual-mode transport in the reaction equilibrium (diffusion-limited)regime. Comparison with experimental results confirms the consistency of this approach.
