Understand the function of sodium-potassium ATPase: It is an enzyme that pumps sodium (Na+) out of cells and potassium (K+) into cells, using energy from ATP hydrolysis.
Identify the initial step: The process begins with the binding of 3 Na+ ions from the cytoplasm to the enzyme.
Next, ATP is used to phosphorylate the enzyme, specifically at an aspartate residue, which causes a conformational change.
This conformational change releases the 3 Na+ ions outside the cell and allows 2 K+ ions to bind from the extracellular space.
Finally, the phosphate group is released, causing another conformational change that releases the 2 K+ ions inside the cell, resetting the enzyme to its original state.
