Mn ions pass through calcium channels. A possible explanation
The divalent transition-metal cations Fe, Co, and Ni were used to test the hypothesis that Mn ions pass through calcium channels because Mn ions have a relatively low energy of hydration. The test ions were applied to the bath and comparisons were made of their effects on Ca or Mn spikes elicited from myoepithelial cells of the proventriculus of the polychaete worm Syllis spongiphila. Control e...
متن کاملMn2+ ions pass through Ca2+ channels in myoepithelial cells.
1. Intracellular recordings were made from the myoepithelial cells of the proventriculus of the marine polychaete worm Syllis spongiphila. Over-shooting responses were elicited either by carbamylcholine added to the bathing medium or by directly applied intracellular current pulses. 2. In control artificial sea water (ASW) directly applied current pulses elicited regenerative responses of 68-11...
متن کاملHow do calcium channels transport calcium ions?
Calcium channel activity is crucial for many fundamental physiological processes ranging from the heart beat to synaptic transmission. The channel-forming protein, of about 2000 amino acids, comprises four domains internally homologous to each other. Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels are the most selective ion channels known. Under physiological conditions, they prefer Ca2+ over Na+ by a ratio of...
متن کاملExplanation and e-Learning: A First Pass
In the development of e-Learning systems, there is a recognizable trend towards more and more adaptive systems aiming to become assistants for the individual learner. This has led to systems making a lot of decisions and suggestions without asking the learner, e.g., presenting “best-fitting” content, by using methods and techniques from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The increasing ...
متن کاملSimulation study of the transport properties of ions through ion channels serving as primary components of a nanobiosensor
Ion channels are naturally occurring pores through the proteins that regulate the passage of ions and thus maintain the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell. The ion channels control many physiological functions and they can show selectivity for a specific ion. Ion channels are mostly observed in nerve cells and muscle cells. The influx of ions into cells can be regulated by a gate...
