Introduction: Previous studies and our works have indicated several cation channels in the rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane. In this work, we report the single-channel characterization of a cation channel from the rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane incorporated into a planar lipid bilayer. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the adult rat brain, its supernatant was centrifuged...

introduction: recent studies have shown the presence of cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. in this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. methods: after removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in msedigitonin, h2o and na2co3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles were o...

this paper intends to highlight one of the key concerns of housing designers i.e. the influence of open space on human satisfaction as well as their attachment to a particular place. consequently, neighborhood open spaces with their meaningful layout seem to be constituent elements of residential complexes. although, architects and designers try to create qualitative areas among buildings, the ...

The IP3R calcium release channel has been simulated using a stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA;Gillespie algorithm) and De young-Keiser model. A set of different concentration for Cat' and IP3 havebeen used. Considering the Number of molecules in each state, a non linear behavior of the system can beseen clearly. The inhibiting role of the Ca+2 on the open state (X110) has been studied. The d...
