(a) Time course of the bilayer current in field-reversal experiments in the presence of FE in the bilayers. The time of voltage application is marked by arrows. The transmembrane potential was ±150 mV. (b) The natural logarithm of the steady-state number of open FE channels (lnN) in a lipid bilayer modified with 6 μM as a function of the dimensionless transmembrane voltage (eV/kT). The dependence is fitted by a polynomial of the second order. Insets: Time course of the bilayer current in field-reversal experiments in the presence of FE in the bilayers. The time of voltage application is marked by arrows. The membrane was composed of POPC:POPE:POPG:ERG (20:20:50:10 mol%) and bathed in 2 M KCl and 10 mM CHES, pH 9.
