It is experimentally proven that ouabain is incapable of inhibiting neurite growth in sensory neuron and heart tissue explants after removal of free calcium from the nutrient medium with EGTA.

Modulation of the transducer function of Na+,K+-ATPase: new mechanism of heart remodeling.

The results indicate that the cardiac glycoside ouabain applied in endogenous concentrations can modulate transducer function of Na+,K+-ATPase and control the cell growth and proliferation.

Molecular Mechanisms of Na/K‐ATPase‐Mediated Signal Transduction

It is shown that in addition to pumping ions, Na/K‐ATPase acts as a signal transducer and the signaling function of the enzyme is also pivotal to ouabain‐induced nongenomic effects on cardiac myocytes.

Identification of a Pool of Non-pumping Na/K-ATPase*

Experimental evidence is presented demonstrating that over half of the plasma membrane Na/K-ATPase in LLC-PK1 cells is performing cellular functions other than ion pumping, suggesting that a substantial amount of surface-expressed Na/k-ATpase, at least in some types of cells, may function as non-canonical ouabain-binding receptors.

General atomic and molecular electronic structure system

A description of the ab initio quantum chemistry package GAMESS, which can be treated with wave functions ranging from the simplest closed‐shell case up to a general MCSCF case, permitting calculations at the necessary level of sophistication.
