E1 has inward facing high-affinity Na+ binding site and reacts with ATP to form E1-P when Na+ is bound. E2-P has an outward-facing high-affinity K+ binding site and hydrolyzes to form Pi and E2 only when K+ is bound
Mechanism: 1. E1-3Na+ binds ATP to form a ternary complex • Complex reacts to from the high energy P • intermediate. • Intermediate relaxes to form E2-P-3Na+ and • releases Na+ outside. 4. E2-P binds 2K+ outside to form E2-P-2K+. 5. P is hydrolyzed leavind E2-2K+. • E2-2K+ changes conformation, releasing potassium • ions and replacing them with sodium ions.

A resting neuron has a negative charge. That is, there are more negative ions inside the axon than outside the axon. (Ions are molecules with an electric charge.) In contrast, the fluid outside the axon has a positive charge. Because the outside and inside of the axon have different charges, the axon is said to be polarized.
When a neuron is excited or fires, several events take place to create an electrical impulse. Sodium ions, which have a positive charge, enter the axon. This depolarizes the axon-that is, changes the electrical charge inside the axon from negative to positive. This change starts at one end of the axon and continues all the way to the other end. In response to this electrical impulse (called an action potential), the vesicles swarm to the very edge of the axon and release neurotransmitters into the synapse. After the neurotransmitters are released, potassium ions flow out of the axon. Potassium ions have a positive charge, so their absence restores the negative charge inside the axon. The neuron is again polarized and at rest, waiting to fire another impulse.

Figure 20-33b Time course of an action potential. (b) The depolarization is caused by a transient increase in Na+ permeability (conductance), the hyperpolarization results from a more prolonged increase in K+ beginning a fraction of a millisecond later. These result from the presence of sodium and potassium specific voltage-gated channels Page 753
