Electric field induced wetting of a hydrophobic gate in a model nanopore based on the 5-HT3 receptor channel
In this study we examined the influence of a transmembrane voltage on the hydrophobic gating of nanopores using molecular dynamics simulations. We observed electric field induced wetting of a hydrophobic gate in a biologically inspired model nanopore based on the 5-HT3 receptor in its closed state,...
