Outer hair cell electromotility is low-pass filtered relative to the molecular conformational changes that produce nonlinear capacitance

The outer hair cell (OHC) of the organ of Corti underlies a process that enhances hearing, termed cochlear amplification. The cell possesses a unique voltage-sensing protein, prestin, that changes conformation to cause cell length changes, a process termed electromotility (eM). The prestin voltage s...
