Chemical energy, transduction into electrical

GVGVP GFGVP GVGVP GVGK[NMeN]P) D-K/IF of Table 5.5, where n is for the aspartic acid residue with the side chain, -CH2-COOH, that accompanies the N-methyl nicotinamide functional group attached to a lysine side chain. Reduction of NMeN to form NMeN shifts the transition zone for protonation of the carboxyl function by 2.5 pH units. This shows electrochemical transduction, the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy. In particular, the reduction reaction is carried out near pH 9, where the reduced NMeN is most stable. 

As an example of the impact of all these basic notions, my work may be briefly mentioned here the analysis of the transduction of chemical into electrical energy, the basis of nerve excitability and bioelectricity. One additional factor of crucial importance among several others, was the use, since 1937, of a uniquely favorable material for the analysis of the sequence of energy transformations during electrical activity and the isolation and characterization of the proteins of the acetylcholine (AcCh)-cycle, that controls...
