## Abstract Previous work has revealed that 4S RNA is the primary species of RNA in the axoplasm from the giant axons of the squid and __Myxicola.__ This study shows that axoplasmic 4S RNA from the squid giant axon has the functional properties of tRNA. Axoplasmic RNA was charged with amino acids b
## Abstract Calciumβinflux associated with the action potential was studied in squid giant axons using an EDTAβfree preparation of aequorin as a probe. Associated with an individual action potential there was a transient increase in aequorin luminescence and the time course of this increase was exa
The effects of colchicine applied inside a squid giant axon were studied using voltage-clamp and internal perfusion techniques. It was found that colchicine selectively and reversibly suppresses the sodium conductance during excitation. The possible involvement of the microtubular structure in the f
