In this early work, however, the activating effects of the natural ligand, acetylcholine, were not measured and, also, atropine apparently only partially inhibited the receptor. In the current paper, therefore, we recloned this receptor (named A-type mAChR) and found that the cDNA sequence published in Shapiro et al.
At an early age we learn that the color of the water in our lakes, rivers and ponds is blue, but we expect the water in our drinking glass to be clear. When homeowners discover their home drinking water has a slight blue tint, itâs cause for concern. Blue or blue-green water likely means it contains copper.
The intrinsic color of liquid water may be demonstrated by looking at a white light source through a long pipe that is filled with purified water and closed at both ends with a transparent window. The light turquoise blue color is caused by weak absorption in the red part of the visible spectrum.he water molecule can vibrate in three different modes when light hits it. The red, orange, yellow, and green wavelengths of light are absorbed so that the remaining light we see is composed of the shorter wavelength blues and violets. This is the main reason why ocean color is blue.
