The incorporation of valinomycin, a neutral antibiotic, into a polyvinyl chloride membrane allows for the manufacture of an ion-selective electrode that is highly selective for potassium.
<h3>How Valinomycin Ionophores Enter and Transport K+ across Model Lipid Bilayer Membranes?</h3>
- A biomimetic lipid membrane attached to the surface of the gold electrode contained the cyclic peptide valinomycin.
- The ionophore characteristics of the peptide were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the conformation and orientation of the antibiotic valinomycin within the membrane were identified using polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy.
- By forming a complex with potassium ions and an ion pair with a counter anion, valinomycin transports ions across the membrane, and the combination of these two techniques revealed novel information about the ionophore mechanism.
- The ion pair is located inside the hydrophobic portion of the membrane and makes a little angle of around 22° with the surface normal.

Bleaching I believe is the correct answer.
Functions of cell surface Receptors .
most ligands responsible for cell-cell signaling ( including neurotransmitters, peptide, hormones, and growth factors) bind to receptors on the surface of their target cells.
Answer:
Rhinorrhea
Lacrimation
Pupillary constriction
The diagnosis for the patient seems to be a cluster headache. In a cluster headache, the patient will have an intense pain with lacrimation, rhinorrhea, and miosis(pupillary constriction). The pain is unilateral with duration of minutes to hours. It could occur for weeks and <span>disappear </span>for months afterward, makes it called "cluster"..
