Kinetic contribution to extracellular Na+/K+ selectivity in the Na+/K+ pump
The sodium potassium pump (Na+,K+‐ATPase) shows a high selectivity for K+ over Na+ binding from the extracellular medium. To understand the K+ selectivity in the presence of a high concentration of competing Na+ ions requires consideration of more than just ion binding affinities. Here, equilibrium‐...
