Ionic Basis of Potential Regulation.
Abstract
The objectives of this contracted research is to understand the mechanisms by which the resting potential of the nerve cell is controlled. The following is a summary of the major findings of this contracted research: A new understanding of the physiochemical basis of potential regulation at the resting state. A new type of K channel that controls the resting potential of the nerve axon. Ion-selectivity of the delayed rectifier K channel in squid axon. Potassium efflux through the resting channel of squid axons. Evidence of a Mg-activated channel which appears only in intact squid axons but not internally perfused axons.
