Abstract
ATP hydrolysis by the sodium pump in human red cell ghosts was measured in order to determine whether activation by Na and K is stepwise or simultaneous. The results show that both ions bind together, suggesting that ATP is hydrolysed in a one-step reaction which is activated synergistically by Na and K.Keywords
