Conserved Voltage Sensor

Science Signaling, 2002
The voltage sensor for the depolarization-activated, Shaker K + channel (Kv) is well characterized as the transmembrane segment S4. In Kv channels, depolarization stimulates the outward movement (more residues of S4 exposed to the extracellular surface), and the channel opens. Männikkö et al.

Kerr Voltage Sensor

SPIE Proceedings, 1986
The electrooptic Kerr effect is the interaction of an applied electric field with a birefringent fluid medium resulting in a change in the refractive index of the fluid. It has found a variety of applications in the measurement of the applied voltage and electric field by analyzing the polarization rotation of light shined through the fluid. Potentials

Transmembrane voltage sensor

2003
1. ABSTRACT The biological membrane has many functions. Firstly, it is a barrier for most aqueous substances. Life requires compartmentalization: the cell needs an “inside” and an “outside”, which are provided by the cell-wall membrane. However, specific substances must pass through this wall, in a controlled manner.

A Miniature Smart Voltage Sensor

2021 4th International Conference on Energy, Electrical and Power Engineering (CEEPE), 2021
Based on the capacitor voltage divider method, a miniature smart voltage sensing method is proposed, which employs a scheme that dynamically measures the coupling capacitor between the voltage sensor and the ground. Then a prototype of miniature smart voltage sensor (MSVS) is developed.

Polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal voltage sensor

Applied Optics, 2006
We present a novel electric-field and voltage sensor based on the electro-optical properties of polymer-dispersed liquid-crystals (PDLCs). In principle, the transmittance of PDLCs is a nonlinear function of the applied electrical field. To measure an AC field we superposed to it a known DC field.

NMDA Receptors as Voltage Sensors

2017
The membrane potential is an essential parameter of a living cell. However, measurements of the membrane potential using conventional techniques are associated with a number of artifacts. Cell-attached recordings of the currents through NMDA receptor channels enable noninvasive measurements of the neuronal membrane potential.

The voltage-sensor structure in a voltage-gated channel

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2005
A recent electron paramagnetic resonance study of KvAP, a prokaryotic voltage-gated channel, in its lipid native environment has revealed the location of the transmembrane segments, the connecting loops and the relative position of the voltage-sensing charges.
