Raman spectroscopy of the "potential sensor" of potential-dependent channels.
Raman spectroscopy (RS) study shows that the "potential sensor" responds to changes in intramembrane potential by conformational changes. The mechanism of regulation of the channel "gate" by the carotenoid potential sensor is discussed.
