Fig. 8.

a The total probability of the charge being transferred (normalized) as a function of the DC-potential for two changes in turgor pressure in the spherical prestin-transfected cell, 1 (dashed line) and −1 kPa (dotted line). The solid line corresponds to the unperturbed case. b The total probability of the charge being transferred (normalized) as a function of the DC-potential for two changes in the membrane areal modulus, 0.1 (dashed line) and −0.1 N/m (dotted line). The solid line corresponds to the unperturbed case. The three lines almost overlap, and the insert shows a slight difference in the highest sensitivity region
