The slow component of the gating current onresponse has been studied on voltage-clamped nodes of Ranvier of the frog Rana esculenta. At 0 mV and 20~ the charge and the time constant of the slow component were on average 37.1 fC and 0.39 ms, respectively. The slow component could be abolished by shif
The effect of forskolin on voltage-activated Na + and K + currents in nodes of Ranvier from the toad, Bufo marinus, has been examined using the vaseline-gap voltageclamp technique. Peak Na + currents (INa) were reduced by 35 % and the rate of decline of Na + current during continuous depolarization
Rat brain Na+ channels whose inactivation process had been removed either by batrachotoxin (BTX) or veratridine (VT) were reconstituted into planar lipid membranes. The voltage dependence of the open probability (Po) of the channel, of the opening and closing rate constants, and the conductance and
