The actions of L-glutamate at the postsynaptic membrane of the squid giant synapse.
The actions of L-glutamate on the postsynaptic membrane of the squid giant synapse were investigated using two methods of application: ionophoresis and bath perfusion. Bath perfusion of 10 mmoll-1 sodium glutamate did not produce an appreciable depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane but reversibly blocked the neurally evoked postsynaptic potential (PSP). The postsynaptic membrane depolariz...
متن کاملProduction of D-Glutamate from L-Glutamate with Glutamate Racemase and L-Glutamate Oxidase.
We studied production of D-glutamate from L-glutamate using a bioreactor consisting of two columns of sequentially connected immobilized glutamate racemase (EC 5.1.1.3, from Bacillus subtilis IFO 3336) and L-glutamate oxidase (EC 1.4.3.11, from Streptomyces sp. X119-6): L-glutamate was racemized by the glutamate racemase column, and then L-glutamate was oxidized by the L-glutamate oxidase colum...
متن کاملSubmillisecond Kinetics of Glutamate Release from a Sensory Synapse
Exocytosis-mediated glutamate release from ribbon-type synaptic terminals of retinal bipolar cells was studied using AMPA receptors and simultaneous membrane capacitance measurements. Release onset (delay <0.8 ms) and offset were closely tied to Ca2+ channel opening and closing. Asynchronous release was not copious and we estimate that there are approximately 5 Ca2+ channels per docked synaptic...
متن کاملModulation of pre- and postsynaptic calcium dynamics by ionotropic glutamate receptors at a plastic synapse.
This study was conducted to assess the role of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the modulation of calcium dynamics on both sides of a vertebrate plastic synapse. Retrograde labeling of neuronal elements with high-affinity calcium-sensitive dyes was used in conjunction with confocal imaging techniques in an in vitro lamprey brain stem preparation. A prolonged calcium transient was measured both...
متن کاملGuanidinium l-glutamate
In the title compound, CH(6)N(3) (+)·C(5)H(8)NO(4) (-), there are two independent cations and two independent anions in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal structure, cations and anions are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
