Halazone and Sodium Current Inactivation in Frog Nerve
2026-09-12
The reference study used voltage-clamped frog nerve fibers to compare Halazone with chemically distinct oxidants and residue-reactive reagents. Its central finding was that Halazone and hypochlorous acid strongly reduced sodium-current inactivation, challenging a simple methionine-centered explanation and implicating membrane-lipid modification as a plausible alternative.
