Osmoprotectants or compatible solutes are small organic molecules with neutral charge and low toxicity at high concentrations that act as osmolytes and...

Leaching is the process of a solute becoming detached or extracted from its carrier substance by way of a solvent. Leaching is a naturally occurring process...

distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents. This law was first given by Nernst who studied the distribution of several solutes between different...

gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration...

the Latin solvō, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be...

depends on the relative concentration of selective membrane-impermeable solutes across a cell membrane which determine the direction and extent of osmotic...
