Abstract :
Vorticella stalk contraction is a new type of machinery exhibited positive role for Sanger’s reagent in acidic medium. These range of acidic medium changes contraction frequency of the stalks up to the limited range of chemical reactions by the path and patterns of structural modification of stalks throughout the length of their extension. The ROS generated by the applied Sanger’s reagent in different concentration gradients slowed down the rate of contraction but unable to stop metabolic path and patterns of protein folding. Thus the experimental conclusion exhibited reversible physiological regulation of contraction in less acidic medium with extra-ordinary future applications in terms of advanced bio-molecular software utilisations.
