Abstract
Here, we review the properties of a suggested mechanism for a neural ATPase complex based on our recent experimental findings. The mechanism represents a multifunctional ATPase: an enzyme that is a chloride pump and a GABA receptor. This enables new views on the ways Cl - channel transports anions and its regulation by the intra- and extracellular ions and molecules (in particular by glucose, ATP, [Formula: see text]). The hydrolytic activity of this GABA A-coupled ATPase provides the [Formula: see text] transport process the energy and determines a certain direction of ions flux across neuronal membrane. This can help with the research regarding several diseases such as epilepsy. [Formula: see text]Special Issue Comment: This project is about a multifunctional ATPase complex. Experiments involving measuring & solving individual ATPases are related with the Special Issue about FRET experiments,1 about enzymes,2 and about treatments when solving single molecules.3,4 The model suggested here is simply tested with these experimental and mathematical methods.
