Ingenious experiments carried out by Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley revealed that action potentials arise from large, transient changes in the permeability of the axon membrane to NA⁺ and K⁺ ions.

In prokaryotes, the average length of an mRNA molecule is about 1.2 kilobases (kb).

It is equal to the rate constant k₂, which is also called k_cat.

The rate constant k_cat/K_M, called the specificity constant, is a measure of catalytic efficiency because it takes into account both the rate of catalysis with a particular substrate (k_cat) and the nature of the enzyme-substrate interaction (K_M).

Interestingly, diets that promote ketone-body formation, called ketogenic diets, are frequently used as a therapeutic option for children with drug-resistant epilepsy.

The PKA structure has broad significance because residues 40 to 280 constitute a conserved catalytic core, called the kinase fold, that i common to essentially all known protein kinases.

Kinesin motion is highly processive

Kinetic studies of myosins, as well as many other enzymes having ATP or other nucleoside triphosphates as a substrate, reveal that these enzymes are essentially inactive in the absence of divalent metal ions such as magnesium (Mg²⁺) or manganese (Mn²⁺) but acquire activity on the addition of these ions.

The first domain, called the gla domain, is rich in xgammax carboxyglutamate residues (abbreviation gla), and the second and third domains are called kringle domains (named after a Danish pastry that they resemble).
