The influence of calcium on sodium efflux in squid axons.

TL;DR: This work has shown that the sodium efflux from the axons of Loligo forbesi increases when external sodium is replaced by lithium.

The effect of cyanide on the efflux of calcium from squid axons

TL;DR: The average rate constant for loss of 45Ca from an unpoisoned squid axon was 1·8 × 10−3 min−1, corresponding to an efflux of 0·2 p‐mole/cm2 sec.

A study of the effects of substrate concentration and certain relaxing factors on the magnesium-activated myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase.

TL;DR: It is shown that at a low ionic strength the marked inhibition of ATPase activity by ATP is dependent on the magnesium concentration and that this inhibition is not obtained when calcium is the activating metal, nor in the presence of magnesium when inosine triphosphate (ITP) is the substrate.

The mobility and diffusion coefficient of potassium in giant axons from Sepia.

TL;DR: It is suggested that at least 90% of the total potassium is free to exchange with radioactive potassium, and therefore the results of the present study apply to the bulk of the potassium inside the axoplasm.
