In addition to transporting 5HT, SERT conducts several different ionic currents, both steady state and transient. |
This involves ionic diffusion processes in the crystal structure of the solids, leading to phase change and recrystallisation. |
The Lafayette meteorite contains abundant iddingsite, a fine-grained intergrowth of smectite clay, ferrihydrite, and ionic salt minerals. |
It is believed that ionic, hydrophobic, charge-transfer, van der Waals interactions as well as steric effects can all play a role in the binding. |
When an ionic solute is dissolved in water equilibrium is established between the solid phase and the various hydrated ionic species. |
All ions in solution are hydrated, surrounded by water molecules that bond to it through ionic attractions. |
