Suppose you were to treat a normal mammalian cell with a substance that inhibits the Na-K ATPase, what would be the most
Mechanistically, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure involves substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. This validates the cell membrane potential would immediately drop to zero because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in biochemistry research.
Ref: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Chapter 9, Lipids and Membranes, explains phospholipid components, glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate group and membrane structure providing foundation for lipid biochemistry.
