Three types of ATP-activated current in these neurons (F, I and S) were recorded. The cells exhibiting the type F current mainly showed positive staining for P2X3, but negative staining for P2X1. The results provide direct and convincing evidence at the level of single native nociceptive neurons for correlation of the characteristics of ATP-activated currents with their composition of P2Xl and P2X3 subunits and cell size. The results also suggest that the P2X3, but not P2X1, is the main subunit that mediates the fast ATP-activated current in nociceptive neurons.展开更多

X-Ray crystallography revealed that they exhibited a rare CaFE topology framework, constructed from the 4-connected tetrahedral TCPS unit with the 8-connected dinuclear praseodymium cluster unit and trinuclear praseodymium cluster unit, respectively. In addition, the luminescent and magnetic properties of the two compounds were investigated.展开更多

It is generally considered that there is no preformed excimer site in the ground state because the absorption spectrum is unchanged. Excimer is formed only when the molecules have traveled a certain distance by molecular motion and attained a suitable orientation by diffusion-controlled process in the excited state.
