	Bernard Katz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Katz was made a professor at UCL in 1952 and head of biophysics, he was also elected to the Royal Society.
		Katz won the Nobel for his discovery that neurotransmitter release at synapses is "quantal"--that is, that at any particular synapse the amount of neurotransmitter released is never less than a certain amount, and if more is always an integral number times this amount.
		Katz's work had immediate influence on the study of organophosphates and organochlorines, the basis of new post-war study for nerve agents and pesticides, as he determined that the complex enzyme cycle was easily disrupted.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| Special Reports \| Obituary: Sir Bernard Katz
		Katz's discovery in the 1950s of the "quantum" character of nerve junction biochemistry transformed scientific perception of the nature of signal processing in the nervous system.
		Katz unravelled the detailed biochemistry of the dynamic cycle that carries signals across the gap in the wiring between nerve endings and the "effector" cells in muscle which they control.
		Katz went on to show that the single "packet" of molecules, characteristic of the resting signal, is the minimum amount that can produce a corresponding signal in the receiving nerve cell.

		Until he was six, Katz was a citizen of Tsarist Russia, but then, because of the Russian Revolution, became stateless, and remained so until he was 30 when he became a naturalized British citizen.
		Katz, with Paul Fatt, established that these receptors, when stimulated by acetylcholine, open "aqueous pores" in the muscle membrane that allow an electrical current (carried by sodium and other ions) to flow into the cell.
		Although Katz spoke little English when he first arrived at UCL, his writing style was exemplary, and he was able and willing to correct the execrable style adopted by some native speaker of English.

	A Critical Response to Bernard Katz *On Our Founding Fathers*
		Bernard Katz showed us the wide divergence of religious belief among the Founding Fathers discussed in his article and he chose to tack the adjective Christian on many of them because many of the people quoted wanted that adjective attached to any noun that was supposed to denote their religious orientation.
		We have already commented previously on Bernard Katz's contention that Thomas Jefferson had reduced the wall of separation between church and state to a "curbstone." It might be instructive to view the language of James Madison as applied to this subject as it reflects his broad view of the issue of governmental involvement in religion.
		Bernard Katz concludes his essay with a number of quotes from George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, arguing that their "godtalk" was Christian "godtalk." The truth of the matter is that.

		Bernard Katz was born in 1911 in Leipzig,Germany.
		Katz wrote Electric Excitation of Nerve (1939), Nerve, Muscle and Synapse (1966), and The Release of Neural Transmitter Substances (1969).
		He and his associates made numerous discoveries concerning the chemistry of nerve transmission, including the role of calcium ions in promoting the release of neurotransmitter substances and the fact that quanta of these substances are being released constantly at random intervals.

		Katz was a brilliant student at school, winning prizes and skipping years to higher grades, although surprisingly he did not do science subjects.
		Katz attended some public lectures at the University of Leipzig towards the end of his secondary education, and these, together with the poor prospects of his father at that time, determined that he should to medicine.
		Katz and Miledi showed in 1967 that in the presence of tetrodotoxin, short depolarizing pulses of the presynaptic membrane lead to a postsynaptic response that did not occur until the depolarisation was ended in the case of strong depolarizing pulses.

	Sir Bernard Katz Dies; Won Nobel for Nerves (washingtonpost.com)
		Sir Bernard Katz, 92, a physician and physiologist who was a co-winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology for his research in explaining the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to muscles, died April 20.
		The institute singled out Sir Bernard for his "discoveries concerning the mechanism for the release of the transmitter acetylcholine from the nerve terminals at the nerve-muscle junction," adding that this work was "of primary importance for our knowledge about the synaptic transmission between the nerve cells in the central nervous system."
		Sir Bernard, who had lived in London since World War II, was knighted in 1969, was the recipient of the Royal Society's Copely Medal and had served as the society's vice president and biological secretary.

		Sir Bernard Katz, the biophysicist who was developed the quantal theory of acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, died last week in London (April 20, 2003) at the age of 92, after a distinguished career at the forefront of British neurophysiology.
		Katz was born in 1911 in Leipzig, Germany, the son of a Russian fur trader.
		In his Nobel lecture on December 12, 1970, Katz explained his surprise at finding the release of acetylcholine even in muscles apparently at rest: "Some 20 years ago, using the method of intracellular recording, Paul Fatt and I came across something quite unexpected.

		Bernard Katz nació en Leipzig (Alemania) en 1911 y se licenció en Medicina en la universidad de su ciudad natal.
		Los trabajos de Katz se centraron en la relación existente entre la placa motora del músculo y las terminaciones nerviosas, pudiendo determinar que la liberación de pequeñas cantidades de acetilcolina desde la terminación nerviosa es determinante en la carga y descarga de la placa motora que provoca la activación muscular.
		Katz pudo llegar a estas conclusiones gracias a la colocación de microelectrodos de vidrio en la unión neuromuscular.
