Summary

Automatic Translation

In electrophysiological measurements, the presence of a diffusion potential disturbs the precise measurement of the reverse potential by altering the electrode potential. Using a micro-agar salt bridge, the impact of the diffusion potential is minimized, which allows a more precise measurement of substrate turnover numbers of reconstituted recombinant membrane proteins.
