Single ion-channel current measurements from rat brain synaptosomes in planar lipid bilayers.
Because of their small size and inaccessibility, direct electrical measurements of ionic conductances from mammalian brain presynaptic nerve terminals have not been possible. Measurements using voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes, however, indicate that the membrane potential of a preparation enriched in pinched-off and resealed presynaptic nerve terminals (synaptosomes) depends principally on K...
متن کاملAcetylcholine receptor in planar lipid bilayers. Characterization of the channel properties of the purified nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo californica reconstituted in planar lipid bilayers
The properties of the channel of the purified acetylcholine receptor (AChR) were investigated after reconstitution in planar lipid bilayers. The time course of the agonist-induced conductance exhibits a transient peak that relaxes to a steady state value. The macroscopic steady state membrane conductance increases with agonist concentration, reaching saturation at 10(-5) M for carbamylcholine (...

متن کاملInvestigation of Channel-Forming Activity of Polyene Macrolide Antibiotics in Planar Lipid Bilayers in the Presence of Dipole Modifiers
The role of membrane components, sterols, phospholipids and sphingolipids in the formation and functioning of ion-permeable nanopores formed by antifungal macrolide antibiotics, amphotericin B, nystatin and filipin in planar lipid bilayers was studied. Dipole modifiers, flavonoids and styryl dyes, were used as a tool to study the molecular mechanisms of polyene channel-forming activity. The int...
متن کاملSodium Channels in Planar Lipid Bilayers
Single channel currents of sodium channels purified from rat brain and reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers were recorded . The kinetics of channel gating were investigated in the presence of batrachotoxin to eliminate inactivation and an analysis was conducted on membranes with a single active channel at any given time . Channel opening is favored by depolarization and is strongly voltage ...
