1. 4, 6‐O‐Ethylidene‐α‐D‐glucopyranose (ethylidene glucose) has been used to study the competitive inhibition of glucose exchange fluxes when the reagent was (i) inside the cells and (ii) on the outside.2. 50% inhibition of glucose exchange at 20 mMand 16° C required 200 mMethylidene glucose when on the inside in contrast to 25–30 mMwhen on the outside.3. The inhibitions at different inhibitor/glucose concentration ratios were measured and analysis of the data suggested that the half‐saturation constant for ethylidene glucose was 6 times that for glucose inside the cell as against 1·5 outside. The analysis, however, suggested an asymmetry in respect to the affinities for glucose of approximately ten‐fold and this would make the asymmetry towards ethylidene glucose forty‐fold.4. Such asymmetries make it necessary to consider a transfer mechanism for sugars with different components on the outer and inner membrane interfaces and simple kinetics for a two component system have been developed and used for analysing the experimental data quantitatively.5. The kinetic similarities to and difference from the kinetics of a simple mobile carrier and those of some more recent models are briefly discussed.
