Conductance increases produced by bath application of cholinergic agonists to Electrophorus electroplaques. [PDF]
, 1975 When solutions containing agonists are applied to the innervated face of an Electrophorus electroplaque, the membrane's conductance increases. The agonist-induced conductance is increased at more negative membrane potentials.

Acetylcholinesterase: Structure, dynamics, and interactions with organophosphorus compounds. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), removing it from the synaptic cleft after the transmission of an electrical signal, making it an essential component of chemical neurotransmission. AChE is a serine hydrolase, containing a catalytic triad of Ser/His/Glu.

Importance of Fluorine in High Voltage Electrolytes for LNMO||SiGr Cell Chemistry. [PDF]
SmallA non‐flammable fluorinated electrolyte is developed for a high voltage LNMO||SiGr (20 wt.% Si) cell chemistry to improve the cycle life until 80% SOH by 56% compared to the reference cell chemistry. This electrolyte prevents the roll‐over effect and suppresses side reactions, resulting in an effective solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and cathode ...

The untold story of the caudal skeleton in the electric eel (ostariophysi: gymnotiformes: electrophorus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Alternative hypotheses had been advanced as to the components forming the elongate fin coursing along the ventral margin of much of the body and tail from behind the abdominal region to the posterior margin of the tail in the Electric Eel, Electrophorus ...

Rates and equilibria at the acetylcholine receptor of electrophorus electroplaques. A study of neurally evoked postsynaptic currents and of voltage-jump relaxations [PDF]
, 1977 Kinetic measurements are employed to reconstruct the steady-state activation of acetylcholine [Ach] receptor channels in electrophorus electroplaques. Neurally evoked postsynaptic currents (PSCs) decay exponentially; at 15°C the rate constant, α, equals ...

Flustramine Q, a Novel Marine Origin Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor from Flustra foliacea
Future Pharmacology, 2023 The bryozoan Flustra foliacea produces a range of indole alkaloids, and some have shown weak antibiotic, muscle-relaxant and cytotoxic properties; however, most of them have not been tested for bioactivity. Many of these alkaloids possess a physostigmine

Electric Eels Wield a Functional Venom Analogue
Toxins, 2021 In this paper, I draw an analogy between the use of electricity by electric eels (Electrophorus electricus) to paralyze prey muscles and the use of venoms that paralyze prey by disrupting the neuromuscular junction.
