In the past few years, the scientific community has witnessed
significant progress in the study of ion channels. Technological
advancement in biophysics, molecular biology, and immunology has
been greatly ac celerated, making it possible to conduct
experiments which were deemed very difficult if not impossible in
the past. For example, patch-clamp techniques can now be used to
measure ionic currents generated by almost every type of cell,
thereby allowing us to analyze whole-cell and single channel
events. It is now possible to incorporate purified ion channel
components into lipid bilayers to reconstitute an "excitable
membrane." Gene cloning and monoclonal antibody techniques provide
us with new approaches to the study of the molecular structure of
ion channels. A variety of chemicals have now been found to
interact with ion channels. One of the classical examples is
represented by tetrodotoxin, a puffer fish poison, which was shown
in the early 1960s to block the voltage-activated sodium channel in
a highly specific and potent manner.
