Abstract:
The author leaves a rural clinic in Fort Morgan, CO, to briefly join a medical relief team responding to the Haitian January 2010 earthquake. While transporting an ill newborn, he reflects on similarities between the Haitians' displacement and resulting vulnerability and that of his patients back home. "Jeff! Jeff! Get up!" Elias' headlamp pierces the thin tent and catches me in the eyes, blinding me. "There's a sick baby at the hospital they want to transport…they need someone to go."

ABC Transporters: Exporter
ABC Transporters: Importer
In bacteria, based on the number of transmembrane helices and the chemical nature of their substrates, the ABC importers can be divided into three types:
Carrier Transport
Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
