Journal ArticleDOI
Divalent ions and the surface potential of charged phospholipid membranes.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the ability of the alkaline earth cations to shift the conductance-voltage curves of a nerve along the voltage axis by 20–26 mv for a 10-fold increase in concentration may be due to essentially a screening rather than a binding phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic selectivity revisited: The role of kinetic and equilibrium processes in ion permeation through channels
George Eisenman,Richard Horn +1 more
TL;DR: The intent of this paper is to bring up to date an earlier theory of equilibrium selectivity, with emphasis on making it applicable to the permeation of membrane channels and carriers, which involve kinetic considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Where metal ions bind in proteins.
TL;DR: In the 23 metal-binding molecules the authors have examined, the maximum values of the contrast function lie near to observed metal binding sites, suggesting that the hydrophobicity contrast function may be useful for locating, characterizing, and designing metalbinding sites in proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freezing and Melting of Lipid Bilayers and the Mode of Action of Nonactin, Valinomycin, and Gramicidin
TL;DR: Findings imply that freezing the membrane primarily reduces the mobility of these antibiotics with little effect on their solubility.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of the macrotetralide actin antibiotics on the electrical properties of phospholipid bilayer membranes
TL;DR: It seems reasonable to conclude that these antibiotics produce their characteristic effects on membranes by solubilizing cations therein as mobile positively charged complexes.
