A peculiar substructure in the postsynaptic membrane of Torpedo electroplax

L Orci et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1974 Feb.

Abstract

Freeze-etching of Torpedo marmorata electroplax reveals an unusual substructure in one of the fracture faces of the postsynaptic membrane. This substructure consists of a lattice of closely spaced particles that are smaller than the usual 80- to 90-A particles present in other membrane types. The lattice occurs exclusively on the B-face of the postsynaptic membrane.
