5 This pressure reversal of the action of octanol at a postsynaptic membrane is consistent either with pressure counteracting an octanol-induced membrane expansion or with independent mechanisms for the actions of octanol and pressure. 6 The data do not conform with a mechanism in which pressure displaces octanol from a binding site on the receptor protein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
