| Abstract: | Ferroelectric liquid crystal models of voltage-dependent ion channels are discussed quantitatively. The consequences of the hypothesis that the gating mechanism of ion channels is a transition of a ferroelectric liquid crystal component of a biomembrane, in which the tilt angle of the S4 segments decreases to zero, are analyzed. |
