Single molecule studies of a voltage-gated potassium channel
This thesis aims to study the activation and deactivation mechanism of voltage-gated K+ channels (Kv), through fluorescence and electrical measurements. Transmembrane voltage changes are detected by the voltage sensor (helices S3b-S4) among Kv, a phenomenon which triggers a conformational change to...
