“ NaCl degrades the spectral quality by forming heterogeneous [ M + zH + n(Na - H) + m(Cl + H)](z+) ions, while the integrated protein ion intensity remains surprisingly robust.”

“Treatment with hypotonic ….05 M NaCl increased the radiosensitivity, i.e., decreased the D/sub 0/ in M (D/sub 0/ from 87 to 61 rad), in G/sub 1/ (D/sub 0/ from 156 to 122 rad) and in S (D/sub 0/ from 165 to 128 rad).”
“The results indicate that methionine , a thiol-containing amino acid, can alter preferences for sodium chloride solutions and that this effect can be reversed by zinc supplementation.”
“In cultures with 3 M NaCl , the intracellular levels of glycine betaine and choline-O-sulfate were 22- and 2.6-fold greater (70 and 46 mM), respectively, than those of cultures without added NaCl.”
