Membrane transport mechanisms probed by capacitance measurements with megahertz voltage clamp.
We have used capacitance measurements with a 1-microsecond voltage clamp technique to probe electrogenic ion-transporter interactions in giant excised membrane patches. The hydrophobic ion dipicrylamine was used to test model predictions for a simple charge-moving reaction. The voltage and frequency dependencies of the apparent dipicrylamine-induced capacitance, monitored by 1-mV sinusoidal per...
متن کاملVoltage and current clamp transients with membrane dielectric loss.
Transient responses of a space-clamped squid axon membrane to step changes of voltage or current are often approximated by exponential functions of time, corresponding to a series resistance and a membrane capacity of 1.0 muF/cm(2). Curtis and Cole (1938, J. Gen. Physiol.21:757) found, however, that the membrane had a constant phase angle impedance z = z(1)(jomegatau)(-alpha), with a mean alpha...
متن کاملDoping in carbon nanotubes probed by Raman and transport measurements.
In situ Raman experiments together with transport measurements have been carried out on carbon nanotubes as a function of gate voltage. In metallic tubes, a large increase in the Raman frequency of the G(-) band, accompanied by a substantial decrease of its linewidth, is observed with electron or hole doping. In addition, we see an increase in the Raman frequency of the G(+) band in semiconduct...
متن کاملConformational dynamics of the Na+/K+-ATPase probed by voltage clamp fluorometry.
The method of voltage clamp fluorometry combined with site-directed fluorescence labeling was used to detect local protein motions of the fully active Na(+)K(+)-ATPase in real time under physiological conditions. Because helix M5 extends from the cytoplasmic site of ATP hydrolysis into the cation binding region, we chose the extracellular M5-M6 loop of the sheep alpha(1)-subunit for the inserti...
متن کاملContamination of current-clamp measurement of neuron capacitance by voltage-dependent phenomena.
Measuring neuron capacitance is important for morphological description, conductance characterization, and neuron modeling. One method to estimate capacitance is to inject current pulses into a neuron and fit the resulting changes in membrane potential with multiple exponentials; if the neuron is purely passive, the amplitude and time constant of the slowest exponential give neuron capacitance ...
