Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • Knowledge of basilar-membrane activity is essential to the understanding of the perception of sounds, especially loudness.
  • Membrane activity is completely dependent upon Triton X-100 and salt and inhibited by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), while the soluble activity requires CTAB and is inhibited by Triton.
  • Hence, these amphotericin-induced ion currents can be observed as a dynamic change in pH, and AmB membrane activity is reported as change in pH/second.
  • Loss of mitochondrial membrane activity is often observed to be associated with the early stages of apoptosis.
  • Increased membrane activity is manifested by a constant retrograde and anterograde movement of the plasma membrane at the distal portion of the axon and at the growth cone.
