Abstract
Inwardly rectifying otassium currents were measured in resting frog skeletal muscle in different [K]. A model is presented for inward rectification which supposes that the potassium conductance depends on the K+ concentration within a channel and is reduced by a blocking particle which is driven into the channel by depolarization.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
