Measuring membrane potential and pH


CrazCo

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am confused on how the difference in pH and membrane potential of the inside of the cell and the outside of the cell is measured.

 

Specifically, how does using a lipophilic cation help measure membrane potential? and how does measuring the concentration of weak acids and bases on each side of the membrane help measure the pH?

 

Thanks!
