Abstract excerpt
The S4 segment of voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) directly responds to voltage changes by reorienting within the electric field as a permion. A narrow hydrophobic "gasket" or charge transfer center at the core of most VSDs focuses the electric field into a narrow region and catalyzes the sequential and reversible translocation of S4 positive gating charge residues across the electric field while preventing the...
