Vertebrate vision relies on two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones, which signal increments in light intensity with graded hyperpolarizations. Rods operate in the lower range of light intensities ...
Voltage-gated channels are normally opened by depolarization and closed by repolarization of the membrane. Despite sharing significant sequence homology with voltage-gated K+ channels, the gating of ...
Fluorescence anisotropy determines the depolarisation of the fluorescence emission. The key reasons for depolarization include energy transfer to another molecule with a different orientation or ...
