K Channel
This simulation shows a simplified view of the channel from the outside of the cell membrane. The S6 segments of the pore (blue) represent the conduction pathway and the voltage sensors are represented by the S4 segments (brown). The link between the S4 and the pore is simply indicated as a bar (yellow) connecting the inner end of the S4 with the inner end of the S6 segment.
START initiates pulsing.
STOP stops pulsing and resets the average Po.
PLOT restores the plot window.
