| hydronium ion | <chemistry> A positively charged ion that is water with an additional hydrogen atom (H3O). (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| spectrometry, mass, secondary ion | A mass-spectrometric technique that is used for microscopic chemical analysis. A beam of primary ions with an energy of 5-20 kiloelectronvolts (kev) bombards a small spot on the surface of the sample under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Positive and negative secondary ions sputtered from the surface are analyzed in a mass spectrometer in regards to their mass-to-charge ratio. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfonium ion | A compound in which a sulfur atom has three single covalent bonds and therefore has a positive charge analogous to the nitrogen of an ammonium compound; e.g., S-adenosyl-l-methionine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulfur-ferric ion oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From thiobacillus ferrooxidans; catalyses the production of sulfite and fe(2+) from elemental sulfur and fe(3+) Registry number: EC 1.8.99.- Synonym: sf oxidoreductase, sulfite-ferric ion oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ion | <chemistry, radiobiology> Atomic particle, atom or chemical radical bearing an electric charge, either negative or positive. (16 Dec 1997) |
| ion channel | <cell biology> A transmembrane pore that presents a hydrophilic channel for ions to cross a lipid bilayer down their electrochemical gradients. Some degree of ion specificity is usually observed and typically a million ions per second may flow. Channels may be permanently open, like the potassium leak channel or they may be voltage gated, like the sodium channel or ligand gated like the acetylcholine receptor. (27 Oct 1998) |
| ion channel gating | The opening and closing of ion channels due to a stimulus. The stimulus can be a change in membrane potential (voltage-gated), drugs or chemical transmitters (ligand-gated), or a mechanical deformation. Gating is thought to involve conformational changes of the ion channel which alters selective permeability. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ion channels | Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for channel gating can be a membrane potential, drug, transmitter, cytoplasmic messenger, or a mechanical deformation. Ion channels which are integral parts of ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors are not included. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ion cyclotron emission | <radiobiology> As ions gyrate around in a magnetic field (see also larmor radius or cyclotron radius), they radiate radio-frequency electromagnetic waves. This is known as ion cyclotron emission, and can be measured to help diagnose a plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ion diode | <radiobiology> Device for producing and accelerating ion beams for light ion drivers for inertial confinement fusion. Ions are produced in an anode plasma, extracted as space-charge-limited ion flow, and accelerated to the cathode, composed of a confined electron swarm, by an applied electric field. Millions of amperes of current at millions of volts have been produced this way. (27 Oct 1998) |
| ion pump | A membranal complex of proteins that is capable of transporting ions against a concentration gradient using the energy from ATP. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ion pumps | Integral membrane proteins that transport ions across a membrane against an electrochemical gradient. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ion selective electrode | An electrode half cell, with a semi permeable membrane that is permeable only to a single ion. The electrical potential measured between this and a reference half cell (e.g. A calomel electrode) is thus the Nernst potential for the ion. Given that the solution filling the ion selective electrode is known, the activity (rather than concentration) of the ion in the unknown solution can be measured. Commercial ion selective electrodes frequently use a hydrophobic membrane containing an ionophore, such as valinomycin (for potassium) or monensin (for sodium). A pH electrode is made with a thin membrane of pH sensitive (i.e. Proton permeable) glass. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ion-selective electrodes | Electrodes which can be used to measure the concentration of particular ions in cells, tissues, or solutions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ion transport | The movement of ions across energy-transducing cell membranes. Transport can be active or passive. Passive ion transport (facilitated diffusion) derives its energy from the concentration gradient of the ion itself and allows the transport of a single solute in one direction (uniport). Active ion transport is usually coupled to an energy-yielding chemical or photochemical reaction such as ATP hydrolysis. This form of primary active transport is called an ion pump. Secondary active transport utilises the voltage and ion gradients produced by the primary transport to drive the cotransport of other ions or molecules. These may be transported in the same (symport) or opposite (antiport) direction. (12 Dec 1998) |

| ion exchange |
Ion (anion or cation) exchange systems soften hard water by removing the minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause hardness. Ion exchange units also remove iron, manganese and many heavy metals. The hard water is pumped through a tank containing an exchange resin. Sodium on the resin replaces the hardness minerals. The sodium remains in a soluble form in the softened water.

| ion exchange chromatography |
In this case, water is passed through a charged resin column that has side chains that trap calcium, magnesium, and other heavy metal ions. In many laboratories, this method of purification has replaced distillation, as it provides a high volume of very pure water more quickly and with less energy use than other processes. Water purified in this way is called deionized water.
