Termination of transcription by bacteriophage T3 RNA polymerase: homogeneous 3'-terminal oligonucleotide sequence of in vitro T3 RNA polymerase transcripts.

abstract：:Most mammalian cell types, including endothelial cells, respond to cell swelling by activating a Cl- current termed ICl,swell, but it is not known how the physical stimulus of cell swelling is transferred to the channels underlying ICl,swell. We have investigated the precise relation between cell volume and ICl,swell ...
