A molecule that is not membrane permeable binds to a membrane protein on the outside of a cell. This changes the conformation of the protein, causing the binding site to face the inside of the cell. The molecule is then released into the cell and the conformation of the binding site changes again so that it is outside the cell. This is a description of what type of transport(er)?
