The selectivity of the Na(+)/K(+)-pump is controlled by binding site protonation and self-correcting occlusion

The Na(+)/K(+)-pump maintains the physiological K(+) and Na(+) electrochemical gradients across the cell membrane. It operates via an 'alternating-access' mechanism, making iterative transitions between inward-facing (E(1)) and outward-facing (E(2)) conformations. Although the general feat...
