Abstract
THE electrical activity of frog skeletal muscle was found to be maintained in a sodium-free hydrazinium solution1,2. In addition, excitability of ventral nerve roots was normal in a hydrazinium solution (unpublished). A series of studies were undertaken to determine the influence of hydrazine on the biochemical properties of conductive tissues, and this communication is concerned specifically with phosphorylation and energy synthesis.
