This paper develops a simple reaction kinetic model to describe electrogenic pumping and co- (or counter-) transport of ions. It uses the standard steady-state approach for cyclic enzyme- or carrier-mediated transport, but does not assume rate limitation by any particular reaction step. Voltage-dependence is introduced, after the suggestion of Lauger and Stark, via a symmetric Eyring barrier. For interpretation of current-voltage relationships (I-V), all voltage-independent reaction steps are lumped together, so the model in its simplest form can be described as a pseudo-2-state model. It is characterized by the 2 voltage-dependent reaction constants, 2 lumped voltage-independent reaction constants and 2 reserve factors, which formally take account of carrier states that are indistinguishable in the analysis. The model generates a wide range of I-V relationships, depending on the relative magnitudes of the 4 reaction constants, sufficient to describe essentially all I-V data now available on active ion-transport systems. Algebraic and numerical analysis of the reserve factors, by means of expanded pseudo-3, 4 and 5-state models, shows them to be bounded and not large for most combinations of reaction constants in the lumped pathway. The most important exception to this rule occurs when carrier decharging immediately follows charge transit of the membrane and is very fast relative to other constituent voltage-independent reactions. Such a circumstance generates kinetic equivalence of chemical and electrical gradients, thus providing a consistent definition of ion-motive forces (e.g., proton-motive force, PMF). With appropriate restrictions, it also yields both linear and log-linear relationships between net transport velocity and either membrane potential or PMF. The model thus accommodates many known properties of proton-transport systems, particularly as observed in chemiosmotic or energy-coupling membranes.
