Channelizing the red blood cell: molecular biology competes with patch-clamp
Both patch-clamp and molecular biology provide powerful tools to investigate ion channels. However, the approaches couldn’t be more different. While patch-clamp probes protein function on the scale of a single cell or even down to a single molecule, molecular biology includes techniques that identify the protein, and requires mostly cell populations. According to current knowledge and compared ...
متن کاملWhole-Cell Patch-Clamp Recordings
The patch-clamp recording technique, which measures ionic currents under voltage clamp, was designed to study small patches of membranes in which near perfect control of the transmembrane voltage can be achieved readily. The recent application of patch-clamp methodology to the analysis of whole-cell current actually defies many of the original design requirements. Nevertheless, whole-cell recor...
متن کامل"MS-Patch-Clamp"or the Possibility of Mass Spectrometry Hybridization with Patch-Clamp Setups for Single Cell Metabolomics and Channelomics
In this projecting work we propose a mass spectrometric patch-clamp equipment with the capillary performing both a local potential registration at the cell membrane and the analyte suction simultaneously. This paper provides a current literature analysis comparing the possibilities of the novel approach proposed with the known methods, such as scanning patch-clamp, scanning ion conductance micr...
متن کاملOne-channel cell-attached patch-clamp recording.
Ion channel proteins are universal devices for fast communication across biological membranes. The temporal signature of the ionic flux they generate depends on properties intrinsic to each channel protein as well as the mechanism by which it is generated and controlled and represents an important area of current research. Information about the operational dynamics of ion channel proteins can b...
