A generalized microscopic mechanism for the facilitated transport of a neutral solute through
a fixed site carrier membrane is given. A series mass transfer resistance model is used to …

Facilitated diffusion normally involves mobile carriers, reactive groups which react with
specific solutes and diffuse with them across a liquid membrane. Facilitated diffusion can …

A theory is presented which describes the facilitated transport of neutral molecules, such as
O 2, across fixed site carrier membranes. A main feature of this theory is a derivation of the …

A system of facilitated diffusion is described in which a nonelectrolyte diffuses through the
membrane and simultaneously undergoes an association-dissociation reaction with a …

Carrier‐mediated transport in membranes as a globally nonreactive process is distinguished
from film theory with chemical reaction and other facilitated diffusion phenomena. With the …

The commonly accepted mechanism for the transport of a penetrant in nonporous polymer
membranes is solution-diffusion (Crank and Park 1968). The penetrant species dissolves in …

A diffusion-limited kinetic treatment has been applied (i) to carrier-mediated transport of a
single substrate species and of an ion pair and (ii) to carrier-mediated exchange diffusion of …

The separation of molecules by membranes is not only a very important event in biological
systems, it has also important large-scale industrial applications, and therefore, it is of a …

A simple mathematical model for facilitated mass transport with a fixed site carrier
membrane was derived by assuming an instantaneous, microscopic concentration (activity) …

Part II of this review is concerned with the mathematical analysis of facilitated transport. An
exposition is given of the most generally useful techniques for obtaining asymptotic or …
