Sizing of an ion pore by access resistance measurements.
Dr. Bezrukov is on leave from Leningrad Nuclear Physics Institute of Academy of Sciences of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, 188350 USSR. Indeed, the total resistance of the channel contains information about pore dimensions, but a direct evaluation of pore radius from R, is complicated by the uncertainty in the value of Rch' Unfortunately, the mechanisms of an ion transport within the ...
متن کاملAccess resistance of a small circular pore
Dear Sir: The access resistance of a small circular pore is of some importance in estimating the conductance of pores in biological membranes (Hille, 1968,1970). This resistance is usually approximated as the convergence resistance to a hemisphere of the same radius as the pore. The approximation assumes that the contribution of the hemisphere itself is negligible. It turns out that this is not...
متن کاملStabilization of ion selectivity filter by pore loop ion pairs in an inwardly rectifying potassium channel.
Ion selectivity is critical for the biological functions of voltage-dependent cation channels and is achieved by specific ion binding to a pore region called the selectivity filter. In voltage-gated K+, Na+ and Ca2+ channels, the selectivity filter is formed by a short polypeptide loop (called the H5 or P region) between the fifth and sixth transmembrane segments, donated by each of the four su...
متن کاملSizing DNA using a nanometer-diameter pore.
Each species from bacteria to human has a distinct genetic fingerprint. Therefore, a mechanism that detects a single molecule of DNA represents the ultimate analytical tool. As a first step in the development of such a tool, we have explored using a nanometer-diameter pore, sputtered in a nanometer-thick inorganic membrane with a tightly focused electron beam, as a transducer that detects singl...
متن کاملan investigation into translation of cultural concepts by beginner and advance student using think – aloud protocols
this research aims at answering the questions about translation problems and strategies applied by translators when translating cultural concepts. in order to address this issue, qualitative and quantitative study were conducted on two groups of subjects at imam reza international university of mashhad. these two groups were assigned as beginner and advanced translation students (10 students). ...
