Rates of membrane-associated reactions: reduction of dimensionality revisited

Rates of membrane-associated reactions: reduction of dimensionality revisited

M A McCloskey et al. J Cell Biol. 1986 Jan.

Abstract

The hypothesis that reactions associated with intracellular membranes enjoy a kinetic advantage from a reduced dimensionality for diffusion is inconsistent with available data on lateral diffusion rates, membrane-substrate affinities, and endogenous concentrations of enzymes and their aqueous substrates.
