I wanted to clarify something about the deactivation and inactivation gates that was discussed in this question. Please let me know if I have this correct.
From the answer explanation I found that deactivation means that the ion channel has its inactivation gate open, but its activation gate closed. This means that a very strong stimulus is required to cause the Action Potential to occur. Therefore, the deactivated channels would be present during relative refractory periods?
