Membrane potential dependence of single-channel gating. A single FocA channel shows distinct bursts of opening and closing that represent fast structural fluctuations in the protein, likely due to amino acid side-chain rearrangements at the two pore constrictions. The linear increase of current with membrane potential evidences ohmic behavior, but the opening probability of a channel strongly decreased at higher holding potentials.
