Lecture

Voltage-gating kinetics: Na+ and K+ channels

Description

This lecture covers the voltage-gating kinetics of Na+ and K+ channels, discussing the rapid opening and inactivation of Na+ channels in response to depolarization, as well as the slower activation of K+ channels without inactivation. It also explores the recovery from inactivation, K+ channel diversity with over 80 genes, and membrane potential dynamics.
