Photocontrol of Voltage-Gated Ion Channel Activity by Azobenzene Trimethylammonium Bromide in Neonatal Rat Cardiomyocytes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The ability of azobenzene trimethylammonium bromide (azoTAB) to sensitize cardiac tissue excitability to light was recently reported. The dark, thermally relaxed trans- isomer of azoTAB suppressed spontaneous activity and excitation propagation speed ...

A Sea Anemone Lebrunia neglecta Venom Fraction Decreases Boar Sperm Cells Capacitation: Possible Involvement of HVA Calcium Channels

open access: yesToxins, 2022
Sea anemones produce venoms characterized by a complex mixture of low molecular weight compounds, proteins and peptides acting on voltage-gated ion channels. Mammal sperm cells, like neurons, are characterized by their ion channels. Calcium channels seem

Voltage sensing in ion channels: Mesoscale simulations of biological devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Electrical signaling via voltage-gated ion channels depends upon the function of a voltage sensor (VS), identified with the S1-S4 domain in voltage-gated K+ channels.

Voltage-Gated Ion Transport in Two-Dimensional Sub-1-Nanometer Nanofluidic Channels.

open access: yesACS Nano, 2019
Voltage-gated nanofluidic systems have shown a wide range of potential applications in biosensors, energy harvest and separation. Two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic membranes fabricated with electrically conductive nanosheets have high ion conductivity and

Cnidarian Toxins Acting on Voltage-Gated Ion Channels

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2006
: Voltage-gated ion channels generate electrical activity in excitable cells. As such, they are essential components of neuromuscular and neuronal systems, and are targeted by toxins from a wide variety of phyla, including the cnidarians. Here, we review

An evolutionarily-unique heterodimeric voltage-gated cation channel found in aphids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We describe the identification in aphids of a unique heterodimeric voltage-gated sodium channel which has an atypical ion selectivity filter and, unusually for insect channels, is highly insensitive to tetrodotoxin.

Cardiac voltage-gated ion channels in safety pharmacology: Review of the landscape leading to the CiPA initiative.

open access: yesJournal of pharmacological and toxicological methods, 2017
Voltage gated ion channels are central in defining the fundamental properties of the ventricular cardiac action potential (AP), and are also involved in the development of drug-induced arrhythmias.

Voltage-dependent gating of KCNH potassium channels lacking a covalent link between voltage-sensing and pore domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Voltage-gated channels open paths for ion permeation upon changes in membrane potential, but how voltage changes are coupled to gating is not entirely understood.

The Role of Governmental Credit in Hemispheric Trade [PDF]

open access: yes, 1941
Ion channels in the plasma membrane are important for the apoptotic process. Different types of voltage-gated ion channels are up-regulated early in the apoptotic process and block of these channels prevents or delays apoptosis.

Organic Photovoltaic Sensors for Photocapacitive Stimulation of Voltage‐Gated Ion Channels in Neuroblastoma Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, 2018
Organic semiconductors are emerging as promising candidates for novel electrically self‐sufficient photovoltaic prosthetics for neurostimulation, especially for restoration of light sensitivity in degenerate retina. Considering future applications, it is
