Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of fresh frog muscle compared with spectra of the same samples after ashing show that approximately 70% of total Na+ of fresh muscle gives no detectable NMR spectrum. This is probably due to complexa-tion of Na+ with macromolecules which causes a broadening of the NMR spectrum. An analogous effect on the NMR spectrum is observed when Na+ interacts with ion exchange resin. The data indicates ion transport based on analogies of the cell to a semiconductor solid.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
