Electrical Properties of Mitochondrial Membranes

Helmut Pauly, Lester Packer, H. P. Schwan · 1959

Researchers measured the electrical capacity of rat liver mitochondrial membranes by analyzing the frequency dependence of admittance in suspensions of swollen mitochondria. The membrane capacity was found to be 0.5 to 0.6 /F/cm2 and depended on potassium chloride ion concentration. The swollen mitochondria had internal ion concentrations proportional to the external medium, suggesting they could adjust their internal ion concentration. Internal mitochondrial conductance was approximately half that of the external medium, even with a 10-fold KCl concentration difference. The data suggested anisotropic electrical behavior explained by internal membranes.

A New Physical Method of creating Chromosomal Aberrations

John H. Heller, A. A. Teixeira-Pinto · 1959

Researchers used a pulsed radio-frequency source at 27 Mc./s. with pulses of 5 X 10-5 sec. and 80 to 180 pulses per second. Garlic root tips were exposed for 5 minutes between insulated electrodes with no temperature rise in the water. Observed chromosomal aberrations included linear shortening of chromosomes, pseudochiasmiata, amitotic division, bridging, and irregularities in the chromosomal envelope.

Some Possible Biological Effects of an Electric Field Acting on Nucleic Acids or Proteins

Terrell L. Hill · 1957

The paper theorized that an electric field can alter or reverse the relative stability of different macromolecular configurations. It stated that the field will shift the equilibrium between molecular configurations. The analysis identified three possible consequences: separation of DNA double helix chains, partial or complete protein denaturation, and changes in protein chain elasticity between long and short states. The author noted these processes might occur in artificial conditions or be relevant in natural biological membranes due to changes in membrane potential or charge distribution.
