| Abstract | Kinetic analysis of the flux of sodium ions in a heterogeneous population of acetylcholine receptor-rich microsacs (vesicles) formed by membrane fragments of electroplax indicated that functional microsacs, which on average comprise only 15% of the preparation, can be filled with 190 mM sodium chloride while nonfunctional microsacs are filled by 190 mM cesium chloride. The functional microsacs have then been successfully separated from nonfunctional microsacs on the basis of their density differences with a continuous sucrose-190 mM cesium chloride density gradient. In the presence of acetylcholine analogs all the internal sodium ions in these microsacs rapidly exchange with external ions. The efflux of sodium ions follows a single exponential decay. The isolation of functional microsacs opens up at least two new avenues of investigation of the molecular mechanism of receptor-mediated processes. The first deals with the efficiency of the process, and the second with the characterization of membrane components important in this process. The conclusions reached so far are: (i) The efficiency of the receptor-mediated process that allows inorganic ions to equilibrate across the membranes of the microsacs can adequately account for electrophysiological results obtained with muscle and nerve cells. (ii) In the receptor-rich heterogeneous population of microsacs the concentration of receptor sites in functional and nonfunctional microsacs is about the same and is therefore not the only factor determining functionality. Significant differences between functional and nonfunctional microsacs have been found so far in the concentrations of acetylcholinesterase and Na+-K+ ATPase. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
