D4 Voltage Gated Sodium Channel

By: Altin Sula, Jenny Booker, and Bonnie Wallace.

The protein in the picture is a voltage-gated sodium channel.  This class of protein is responsible for the initiation of the action potential in nerve cells, and is the target for anti-epileptic and analgesic drugs.  This particular one is called NavMs and is a prokaryotic homologue that functions the same as human channels.  (at 2.5 A resolution it is the highest resolution sodium channel and the only one in an open, active conformation).  Produced by synchrotron data from Soleil in France.
