4 ways to penetrate the Cell Membrane • Simple Diffusion • Passive transport (facilitated diffusion) • Active transport (energy-dependent) • Receptor-mediated endocytosis
Simple Diffusion Initial Final High Low
= the chemical potential of A = chemical potential of standard state GA – GAo = RTln[A] (free energy varies with conc. A) = GA(in) - GA(out) (final - initial) [A]in = GA(in) - GA(out) = RTln GA GA GA GA GA GA GA [A]out If [A]out is > [A] in, is negative exergonic o' If [A]out is < [A] in, If [A]out = [A]in, is zero is positive endergonic (also called the partial molar free energy) Thus:
Thermodynamics (ENERGY) of Transport A(out) A(in) GA GA (in) < (out) Diffusion Rule: Free energy is released when a solute moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration Spontaneous (in) (out) Low High Final state – Initial state =G = negative
GA GA (in) = (out) (in) (out) Balanced Free energy change is zero when the concentration of A on both sides is the same Rule: Final state – Initial state =G = 0
(in) > (out) GA GA (out) (in) Final state – Initial state =G= positive Rule: When chemical potential of A(in) is greater than A(out), energy must be provided to drive A across the membrane, i.e., make free energy change negative Energy = ATP or a proton gradient
Rule: The movement of ions presents a separate challenge because not only must the mass difference (chemical potential) be taken into account, but also the charge differential (electrochemical potential) electrochemical potential refers to the state of (+) (-) charges on both sides of the membrane The electrochemical potential is referred to as the membrane potential when dealing with cells

Vesicle Trafficking • The secretory pathway • The trans-Golgi network • The signal hypothesis • Protein targeting
Rule: Proteins destined for secretion from a cell or for relocation to a membrane or a specific organelle are synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) Definition: The RER consists of ribosomes bound to membranes enclosing an internal hollow space or cisternae Selection: Proteins possess a signal sequence that is recognized by a receptor on the membrane Action: Proteins pass into the space and transit to the Golgi while entrapped in vesicles
Protein inserted in plasma membrane Trans Secretory granule Golgi Pre-lysosome Cis Golgi RER
Signal Hypothesis Proteins destined for secretion or transit to membranes and organelles, have a signal peptide that allows them to enter the RER cisternae The signal peptide is recognized by a receptor called the “signal recognition particle” (SRP) on the RER membrane Signal sequences on the N-terminal represent a string of leucine-rich hydrophobic amino acids that allow the peptide to dock with the receptor The signal peptide is removed after the peptide has penetrated the membrane
