Voltage Gated Ion Channel Function: Gating, Conduction, and the Role of Water and Protons
Ion channels, which are found in every biological cell, regulate the concentration of electrolytes, and are responsible for multiple biological functions, including in particular the propagation of nerve impulses. The channels with the latter function are gated (opened) by a voltage signal, which al...
