  • Title: Analysis of sodium current fluctuations in the cut-open squid giant axon.
    Author: Llano I, Bezanilla F.
    Journal: J Gen Physiol; 1984 Feb; 83(2):133-42. PubMed ID: 6325579.
    Abstract:
    Patch pipettes were used to record the current arising from small populations of sodium channels in voltage-clamped cut-open squid axons. The current fluctuations associated with the time-variant sodium conductance were analyzed with nonstationary statistical techniques in order to obtain an estimate for the conductance of a single sodium channel. The results presented support the notion that the open sodium channel in the squid axon has only one value of conductance, 3.5 pS.
