  -> not so odd, phil... l'idea che queste pompe funzionino come porte, attraverso le quali le cose passano da una parte o dall'altra della membrana, è intuitiva e utile alla comprensione :)

  -> just one example: "ogni proteina transmembranale è una porta selettiva per una particolare sostanza" (http://www.bassilo.it/area_alunni/appunti_di_scienze/traspor... )
