The metamorphic response of pediveliger larvae of Mytilus galloprovincialis to the neurotransmitter blockers chlorpromazine, amitriptyline, rauwolscine, idazoxan, atenolol and butoxamine, and to tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA) was investigated through a series of bioassays. Chlorpromazine, amitriptyline and idazoxin inhibited larval metamorphosis induced by 10⁻⁴ M epinephrine. The concentrati...

The subunit stoichiometry of the mammalian K+ channel KV1.1 (RCK1) was examined by linking together the coding sequences of 2-5 K+ channel subunits in a single open reading frame and tagging the expression of individual subunits with a mutation (Y379K or Y379R) that altered the sensitivity of the channel to block by external tetraethylammonium ion. Two lines of evidence argue that these constru...

The mandelic acid oxidation has been carried out by benzimidazolium fluorochromate (BIFC), morpholinium (MFC), dichromate (BIDC), chlorochromate (MCC) and tetraethylammonium (TEACC) using different solvents as dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), formamide (DMF), chloroform (CF), acetone, dichloromethane (DCM) 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) at 308K, which results in the corresponding oxoacids formation. By TO...
