Slow photo-cross-linking kinetics of benzophenone-labeled voltage sensors of ion channels.
Biochemistry - 4 Sept 2001

Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated ion channels have voltage sensors that move in response to changes in membrane potential. This movement regulates the gates that control access of ions to the permeation pathway. To study the coupling between voltage sensors and gates, we immobilize the voltage sensors, using a bifunctional photo-cross-linking reagent that can be attached to an introduced cysteine, and observe the consequences for...
