Abstract
IN earlier experiments referred to by Conway1,2, it was shown that the resting potential (E) of isolated frog sartorii fibres corresponded to the theoretical values as determined by the relation: provided the conditions were such that a ‘balanced state’ (state of zero net flux) existed for the sodium and potassium ions.
