Voltage sensor domains (VSDs) transducer changes in the electrical field across cell membranes into conformational changes that alter the activation state of an effector domain. Structural and biophysical data on the VSD from Ci-VSP reveal the first view of this domain in the resting state, providing new insight into voltage-dependent structural transitions.
