p-Chloro-mercuriphenyl sulphonate activates a quinine-sensitive potassium cond uctance in frog lens

The effects of the sulphydryl-complexing reagent p-chloro-mercuriphenyl sulphonate (pCMPS) on membrane voltage and electrical conductance were studied on the isolated frog lens. The data suggest that pCMPS activates voltage-sensitive potassium channels that are quiescent at the frog resting potentia...

Description
Summary:The effects of the sulphydryl-complexing reagent p-chloro-mercuriphenyl sulphonate (pCMPS) on membrane voltage and electrical conductance were studied on the isolated frog lens. The data suggest that pCMPS activates voltage-sensitive potassium channels that are quiescent at the frog resting potential in control solution.
