University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The main purpose of this work is to determine the characteristics of the thiourea carrier in human erythrocytes taking into consideration the two parameters of transfer (half-saturation constant and maximum transport rate) and the energy of dissociation of the carrier complex. In the president experiment, the problem has been approached by observing the exit of thiourea, from cells previously equilibrated with thiourea, into a saline medium containing different concentrations of thiourea. The most important advantages of this method are the rapidity of the exit process and the fact that it can be easily measured.
