(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A proton pump is an integral membrane protein that is capable of moving protons across the membrane of a cell, mitochondrion, or other subcellular compartment, thereby creating a difference or gradient in both pH and electrical charge (ignoring differences in buffer capacity) and tending to establish an electrochemical potential.In bacteria, mitochondria and other ATP-producing organelles, reducing equivalents provided by electron transfer or photosynthesis power this translocation of protons. For example, the translocation of protons by cytochrome c oxidase is powered by reducing equivalents provided by reduced cytochrome c. In the plasma membrane proton ATPase and in the ATPase proton pumps of other cellular membranes, ATP itself powers this transport.
The F0F1 ATP synthase of mitochondria and the CF1 ATP synthetase of chloroplasts, in contrast, usually conduct protons from high to low concentration across the membrane while drawing energy from this flow to synthesize ATP.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A pump is a mechanical device used to move liquids or gases. Also the heart is an essential pump in humans and animals to move the blood around.The earliest pump was described by Archimedes around 300 BC and is known as the Archimedes screw pump. Pumps work by using mechanical forces to push the material, either by physically lifting, or by the force of compression.
Types of pump
Pumps fall into two categories: positive displacement pumps, which force fluid from one sealed chamber to another with little leakage, and dynamic pumps, which use the momentum of the fluid to move it across an unsealed chamber.
Positive displacement pump
This type of pump forces the fluid from one chamber to another by reducing the volume of the first chamber while increasing the volume of the second. Such a pump produces a constant flow regardless of intake pressure or outlet pressure, unless the intake pressure drops below a certain limit, causing cavitation, or the outlet pressure exceeds the capacity of the pump, causing pump failure. These pumps often have a relief valve to prevent the latter problem.
Reciprocating positive displacement pump
- Hydraulic ram
- Nodding donkey
- Stirrup pump
- Vane pumps (with flexible or rigid vanes)
- Piston pumps
- Diaphragm pump
Rotary positive displacement pump
- Screw (or progressing cavity) pump
- Gear pumps (internal and external)
- Lobe pumps
- Peristaltic pump (uses a process similar to peristalsis in animals)
- Circumferential piston pump
- progressive cavity pump : pumps fluid by the rotation of a helical steel rotor inside a rubber pump body with a helical aperture
Dynamic pump
The dynamic pump causes the fluid to move from inlet to outlet under its own momentum. This type tends not to need a release valve, because as the outlet pressure rises the pump simply becomes less efficient. Fluid motion can be rotary, as in centrifugal pumps, or linear, as in reciprocating dynamic pumps.
Rotary dynamic (centrifugal) pump
This type of pump contains a rotating part called the impeller inside a stationary cavity called the volute. The impeller forces the fluid to rotate, and thereby to move from inlet to outlet under its own momentum.Examples:
- turbopump: the fluid is moved by the blades of a high-speed turbine.
- submersible pump : the fluid is moved by a pump joined to a sealed motor and submerged in the fluid to be pumped.
- split case centrifugal pump : the fluid is pumped by a horizontal or vertical pump with a split volute to allow maintenance access.
- axial flow pump : the fluid is pumped by a propellor type impeller inside a section of pipe.
Linear or reciprocating dynamic pump
The Vortec Transvector is one example of a no-moving-parts dynamic air pump. A film of fast moving air formed by releasing high pressure air through a slit is discharged adjacent a surface, and drags ambient air along with it. The higher the pressure of the primary air supply, the worse the performance.
It is an example of an ejector pump. Steam ejectors are used to cool bleach water so it will retain the chlorine. They simply discharge a boiler into a tube, sucking water vapor out from above a sealed tank. The water inside slowly cools. Not very efficient, but does something useful with waste steam, simply.
A well pump is also a dynamic pump. Since water will boil if any attempt is made to "suck" it more than about thirty feet high, high pressure water is injected in at the bottom of a well, forcing the well water to flow upwards much more than thirty feet.
Ejectors are used to augment the flow in turbojets, near the aft end.
The Coanda effect is the tendency of such a moving stream to cling to a surface, even when the surface deflects the stream away from its original direction. The surface seems to pull the stream. It's a manifestation of Bernoulli's law: since energy is conserved, a moving fluid has a lower pressure than a static fluid.

 | Using recombinant DNA technology, a transgenic mouse has been engineered whose bone marrow is protected from the toxic effects of chemotherapy by expression of the MDR 1 gene. This animal system allows rapid screening of drugs which inhibit the multidrug transporter and heralds a new era of using transgenic animals for pharmacologic screening. Multidrug resistance resulting from expression of an energy-dependent drug efflux pump encoded by the human MDR gene is a major impediment to effective cancer therapy.
