Abstract excerpt
We tested the effects of charge-neutralizing mutations of the eight arginine residues in DIVS4 of the rat skeletal muscle sodium channel (rNa(V)1.4) on deactivation gating from the open and inactivated states. We hypothesized that neutralization of outer or central charges would accelerate the I-to-C transition as measured by recovery delay because these represent a portion of the immobilizable charge.
