Abstract
A voltage clamp for single muscle fibers has been developed. Stability of the system was achieved when an artificial node was created by enclosing a single muscle fiber in a petroleum jelly seal which served as an analogue of the myelin sheath. Typical voltage clamp records were obtained with large inward transient currents followed by a delayed rectification of the outward currents. These currents looked qualitatively similar when the transverse tubular system was destroyed. Errors in current measurement, especially those due to anomalous rectification, are discussed.Entities:
