Molecule Movements that Make Us Think (VIDEO)

Linköping University

Caption

A research group at Linköping University has built five different molecular models of the voltage sensor in an ion channel, which together can explain all the experimental data. The five models were then linked together to this film which shows how a central part of the voltage detector moves between the outer walls of the voltage sensor.
