Diffusion of calcium ions in retinal rods. A theoretical calculation

The Fick diffusion equation is combined with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the relevant equations from the Gouy-Chapman theory of the electrical diffuse double layer to demonstrate that the effective diffusion coefficient of calcium ions, both in the cytoplasm of the rod outer segment and wit...

description The Fick diffusion equation is combined with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the relevant equations from the Gouy-Chapman theory of the electrical diffuse double layer to demonstrate that the effective diffusion coefficient of calcium ions, both in the cytoplasm of the rod outer segment and within the aqueous space bounded by the disk membrane, should be reduced by a factor of 10-100 because these ions adsorb to phospholipids present in the disk membrane.
