the ratio of unidirectional ion fluxes across a membrane predicted for passive diffusion, so a departure from it indicates active transport or coupling.

In biophysics, Ussing flux ratio refers to the ratio of unidirectional ion fluxes across a membrane predicted for passive diffusion, so a departure from it indicates active transport or coupling. This meaning comes from Ussing (1949) in Acta Physiologica Scandinavica.[1]
