Limitations due to unstirred layers in measuring channel response of excised membrane patch using rapid solution

Abstract:
The Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel was activated by a step increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) using the oil-gate concentration jump method in hippocampal neurons of rat. Limitations due to the unstirred volume between the excised inside-out membrane and the tip opening were examined.
