Topochemical Factors in Potentiation of Contraction by Heavy Metal Cations

In addition to the previously studied Zn2+, low concentrations (about 0.5 mM) of Be2+, Ba2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Pt4+ and, outstandingly, 0.5 µM of UO2 2+, potentiate the twitch of frog sartorius and toe muscles by prolonging the active state of contraction. The degree of potentiation is a roughly S-...
