Contents: Voltage-dependent ion channels -- Critical to proper nerve and muscle function -- Voltage sensitivity is mediated by positively charged segments of the protein -- These voltage sensors move outward with depolarization to trigger channel opening -- The return of one sensor to the resting positions closes the channel -- Hypothesized mechanisms of voltage sensor movement are detailed.
