摘要: The voltage dependence of K+, Na+, and Ca2+ channels is brought about by a sensor that moves ∼12–13 e0 across the entire electric field (Schoppa et al., 1992; Hirschberg 1996; Noceti 1996). In case Shaker K+ channel it known which residues are responsible for this large amount gating charge. This was found measuring total charge movement per after each putative charged (basic or acidic) were neutralized one (Aggarwal MacKinnon, Seoh These studies revealed four most extracellularly located basic S4 segment (R362, R365, R368, R371) intracellular acidic residue in S2 (E293) major contributors to movement. simple assumption all these move accounts more than measured means at least some only partial within field.
