Change of gene frequencies by natural selection under population number regulation.

abstract：:Voltage-gated Na(+) channels initiate action potentials during electrical signaling in excitable cells. Opening and closing of the pore of voltage-gated ion channels are mechanically linked to voltage-driven outward movement of the positively charged S4 transmembrane segment in their voltage sensors. Disulfide locking...
