He is so excitable that I have to yank him out of the way of an oncoming car when he gets too wrapped up in one of his soliloquies.
The first group contains short toxins (30-40 amino acid residues) with 3-4 disulfide bridges which mainly affect the voltage dependent K +channels and the large conductance calcium activated K +channels [ 5 6 ] . The second group includes long-chain (60-70 amino acids) peptides cross linked by 4 disulfide bridges which mainly have an effect on voltage dependent sodium channels of excitable cells [ 1 2 ] . According to their species selectivity sodium channel toxins have been divided into mammalian and insect toxins.
The initial MTX-induced increase in [Ca 2+] i reflects the activation of a Ca 2+-permeable non-selective cation channel (CaNSC) [ 1 4 5 6 7 8 ] . This channel, which has a reported conductance in the range of 12-40 pS depending on ionic conditions [ 5 9 10 11 ] , causes rapid membrane depolarization, which in excitable cells, leads to activation of voltage-sensitive channels.
While the article explains that the excitable British press has gone ballistic over the NSA's refusal to share the files' contents, the real story is the NSA practice of monitoring electronic transmissions around the globe and screening them for targeted search terms like "Saddam Hussein."
For example, in excitable cells such as neurons, depolarization elicits sodium entry, which in turn elicits depolarization—a positive feedback loop.
