Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for determining the potential of a membrane. In one aspect, the method comprises: (a) introducing a first reagent comprising a hydrophobic fluorescent ion capable of redistributing from a first face of the membrane to a second face of the membrane in response to changes in the potential of the membrane, as described by the Nernst equation, (b) introducing a second reagent which labels the first face or the second face of the membrane, which second reagent comprises a chromophore capable of undergoing energy transfer by either (i) donating excited state energy to the fluorescent ion, or (ii) accepting excited state energy from the fluorescent ion, (c) exposing the membrane to radiation; (d) measuring energy transfer between the fluorescent ion and the second reagent, and (e) relating the energy transfer to the membrane potential. Energy transfer is typically measured by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. In some embodiments the first and second reagents are bound together by a suitable linker. In one aspect the method is used to identify compounds which modulate membrane potentials in biological membranes.

Abstract: A strip of stainless steel, which is cast and/or hot rolled and which is dark colored by oxides on the surface of the strip, remaining from the foregoing manufacture of said cast and/or hot rolled strips, is cold rolled in one or more cold rolling passes (11-13) following after each other, so that the thickness of the strip is reduced by 10-75% and so that the oxide scales crackle, i.e. so that fissures are established in the oxide layers. Thereafter, the strip is annealed in a furnace (18) having a furnace atmosphere obtainable by heating the furnace by means of burners which consume a liquid or gaseous fuel, which is combusted by means of a gas which contains at least 85 vol-% oxygen and not more than 10 vol-% nitrogen, wherein a furnace atmosphere is created, in which the strip can be annealed without oxidising the metal surfaces which are exposed through the crackling, in a way which would make the subsequent descaling and pickling difficult.
