So we can't we don't usually talk about ligand gated channels being sodium channels, they'll normally pass more than one type of cation fairly non-selectively, they don't really mind.

We went on to look at ligand gated channels, and in particular three different classes, acetylcholine gated, glycine gated, G A B A gated.

The noise level is similar to that observed in the cyclic nucleotide gated channels [ 28 ] , but is much higher than most other voltage and ligand gated channels.

Voltage and ligand gated channels can be modified slightly by mechanical stimulation, which might change their responsiveness or permeability slightly, but they still respond primarily to voltage or ligands, respectively.

Channel Builder With the channel builder, the user can generate both voltage and ligand gated channel models, that can be implemented in the Biophysics section of the cell builder.
