Physiol. 60:72, 1972 First to demonstrate the existence of ion channels in muscle tissue independently of other researchers (1981) Predicted that stimulus modifies the probability of open or close state of ion channels and not modifies their conductive capacity Demonstrated the multi-ion nature of calcium-activated voltage dependent potassium channel First described the protein random walk that coexists with ionic conductances gating, and the two state kinetic conditions determining the open and close state for such channels Conceived an experimental methodology to isolate ionic channels First to reconstitute a naturally occurring ionic channel into lipid bilayers Discovered a set of ion channels displaying activation by cyclic AMP With Spanish Miguel Valverde discovered that a modulatory beta subunit of the smooth muscle calcium and voltage-dependent potassium channel behaves as an estrogen receptor and first described the binding of etrogens to a calcium-activated ion channel With Argentine Enrico Stefani & Mexican Ligia Toro established the relationship between structure and function of calcium-activated K channel Holds about 8,600 citations HONOURS Visiting Researcher, Physiology Department of Duke University (1973) Assistant Professor, Department of Physiological and Pharmacological Sciences, Chicago University (1975) Associate Professor, Medicine College of Harvard University (1977) Elizabeth R.
