[Inhibition of the process of sugar transport stimulation in the frog sartorius muscles by amines and amides].

In the experiments on isolated frog sartorius muscles, amines and amides were found to inhibit the process of stimulation of D-xylose transport induced by insulin, 2,4-dinitrophenol or potassium contracture. The inhibitory action was produced by urea, acetamide, guanidine, NH4Cl, mono-, di- and trimethyl- or ethylamines, some diamines (all the substances being, applied in the concentration range equal to 100 mM). The similar effect was obtained when cystamine (20 mM), tryptamine, 5-methoxytryptamine (2 mM) and adenine, adenosine, guanosine (1-10 mM) were used. There was no inhibitory effect of acetone, glycerol, tetraethylammonium, propilamine, butylamine, aminoacids, spermine, spermidine, ATP, AMP or cAMP. It has been suggested that the inhibitory substances may interact by producing hydrogen bonds from NH-groups with the neutrally or negatively charged groups at the external surface of the muscle membrane in the region with a slow hydrophobicity. As a result, no structural changes required for activation of the sugar transport system occur in the membrane.

[Properties of cell water].

An attempt was made to analyse and summarize findings concerning water properties of animal and plant cells. From the physical evidence of surface influence on the structure of vicinal water layers, a conclusion is drawn that the structure and properties of cell water are likely to be affected by intracellular interfaces.
