Sarcoplasmic reticulum. 8. Use of 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate as conformational probe on biological membranes.
TLDR
Observations indicate that caution is required in the evalution of ANS fluorescence data in terms of conformational changes in membrane proteins alone, since the contribution of phospholipids to the fluorescence is significant.About:

Book ChapterDOI
Electrostatic Potentials at Membrane-Solution Interfaces
TL;DR: The chapter describes hydrophobic adsorption of charged molecules to bilayer membranes, the electro static potential produced by molecular dipoles at membrane-solution interfaces, and the electrostatic boundary potentialproduced by charges located in the interior of the membrane, a few angstroms from the interface.
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
Anilinonaphthalene sulfonate as a probe of membrane composition and function
Journal ArticleDOI
The sodium-potassium adenosinetriphosphatase.
TL;DR: The Phosphorylated Peptide Component of Purified NaK A TPase Preparations and the Reversal of the Reaction are presented, which show the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of the carrier molecule.

Journal ArticleDOI
A quantitative description of membrane current and its application to conduction and excitation in nerve
A. L. Hodgkin,A. F. Huxley +1 more
TL;DR: This article concludes a series of papers concerned with the flow of electric current through the surface membrane of a giant nerve fibre by putting them into mathematical form and showing that they will account for conduction and excitation in quantitative terms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction of a naphthalene dye with apomyoglobin and apohemoglobin: A fluorescent probe of non-polar binding sites
TL;DR: In this paper, anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) was used as a fluorescent probe of non-polar regions in proteins and its fluorescence changes markedly when it is bound to the apoprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permeability of membrane junctions
TL;DR: The general and familiar idea of the cell membrane is that of a barrier to diffusion encompassing the entire cell surface, but what happens to the diffusion barrier when two cell membranes are brought close together is dealt with.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light Scattering and Birefringence Changes during Nerve Activity
TL;DR: Two optical techniques—light scattering and birefringence—have been used to detect rapid structural changes accompanying the action potentials in two types of non-myelinated nerve fibre.
