Thus, for example, it seems impossible for nerve terminals to store a significant amount of an unstable and highly diffusible gas like nitric oxide: it must be synthesized on demand and diffuse instantly into the synaptic space.
Recent studies have investigated the source and target neurons for the diffusible neuronal messenger molecule nitric oxide in the nervous system of the locust.
By filtering the entry of cytosolic contents into each bead with the prehydrated dialysis membranes, only diffusible molecules below a certain size are permitted to enter the bead.
In most cases the model assumes that the activated molecule is diffusible, and the washout occurs whenever the rate of diffusion exceeds rate of formation of the molecule.
Namely, the inactivator molecule has to be diffusible in its active state.
Definition of diffusible in US English:

adjectivedəˈfyo͞ozəb(ə)ldəˈfjuzəb(ə)l
Able to intermingle by diffusion.
可扩散的，可散播的，扩散性的，弥漫性的
diffusible factors in the cytoplasm
细胞质中的可扩散因子。
