... How the pump works - when three sodium ions bind on the inside of the carrier protein and two potassium ions bind on the outside, the ATPase is activated. The molecule of ATP is cleaved, splitting it into ADP + P and liberating a high energy phosphate bond for energy. This energy causes the carrier ...
