Abstract excerpt
The voltage-gated proton (Hv1) channel is crucial in regulating cellular pH, yet the mechanism underlying proton permeation remains controversial. A deeper understanding of the differences between the channel's active and resting states is essential for clarifying its conductive properties. In this study, we employ a combination of molecular dynamics simulations, site-directed mutagenesis, and...
