| Abstract |
Two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC) is a conventional electrophysiological technique used to artificially control the membrane potential (V m) of large cells to study the properties of electrogenic membrane proteins, especially ion channels. It makes use of two intracellular electrodes-a voltage electrode as V m sensor and a current electrode for current injection to adjust the V m, thus setting the membrane potential at desired values and recording the membrane current to analyze ion channel activities. Here we describe the use of TEVC in combination with exogenous mRNA expression in Xenopus oocytes for ion channel recording. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 November 2014.
All research outputs
#8,065,009
of 24,226,848 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#2,498
of 13,632 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#67,749
of 201,105 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#14
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,226,848 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,632 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 201,105 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its contemporaries.
