Biological Ion Exchanger Resins

III. Molecular Interpretation of Cellular Ion Exchange

PMCID: PMC1484051  PMID: 4943654

Abstract

The cell is presented as a biological ion exchanger resin. The similarities between ion accumulating cells and ion exchanger resins are correlated. The kinetic characteristics of biological ion exchange are shown to be amenable to analysis by a model commonly used for ion exchanger resins. The theories of ion exchange equilibria currently in use with ion exchanger resins are reviewed with their suitability for adaptation to biological ion exchange in mind.
