Planck intermediate results . XLVII

We investigate constraints on cosmic reionization extracted from the Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. We combine the Planck CMB anisotropy data in temperature with the low-multipole polarization data to fit ΛCDM models with various parameterizations of the reionization history. We obtain a Thomson optical depth τ = 0.058±0.012 for the commonly adopted instantaneous reionization mo...

Xlvii. the Heat Inactivation of Diphtheria Antitoxin

Xlvii. the Role of Phospholipids in Electron Transfer*

A role for lipid in mitochondrial function has long been suspected and inferred (l-8). Coenzyme Q was the first lipid for which a requirement in electron transfer was clearly established (9). The requirement for coenzyme Q in respiration is readily demonstrable. It can be quantitatively extracted from mitochondria with acetone; concomitantly, respiration is abolished. Activity can be fully rest...

International Union of Pharmacology. XLVII. Nomenclature and structure-function relationships of voltage-gated sodium channels.

The family of voltage-gated sodium channels initiates action potentials in all types of excitable cells. Nine members of the voltage-gated sodium channel family have been characterized in mammals, and a 10th member has been recognized as a related protein. These distinct sodium channels have similar structural and functional properties, but they initiate action potentials in different cell type...
