Abstract excerpt
1. The effect of Mg2+ on the light-sensitive conductance in Drosophila photoreceptors was examined with the use of whole cell voltage-clamp recordings from dissociated ommatidia. In wild type (WT) photoreceptors, at resting potential (-70 mV). Mgo2+ reduces response amplitude by up to approximately 4-fold in the presence of normal (1.5 mM) Cao2+ and by up to 20-fold in the absence of Cao2+. The Mg2+ concentration...
