We have studied the properties of membrane patches excised from the transducing lobe of Limulus ventral photoreceptors. If patches are excised into an "internal" solution that resembles the ionic composition of the cytoplasm, ...

A Summary: Mathematical models of the cardiac cell have started to include markovian representations of the ionic channels instead of the traditional Hodgkin & Huxley formulations. There are many reasons for this: Markov ...

Studies on the impact of channels constructed to prevent catastrophes during flooding periods on the hydrology of the lower bed of the Salado River drainage basin (Argentina) were performed as related to total dissolved ...

Ion-gated transistors employ ionic gating media (e.g. ionic liquids, polymer electrolytes, aqueous saline solutions) to modulate the density of the charge carriers in the transistor channel. Not only they operate at low ...

Animal and plant voltage-gated ion channels share a common architecture. They are made up of four subunits and the positive charges on helical S4 segments of the protein in animal K+ channels are the main voltage-sensing ...
