Potassium Channels: Conduction, Selectivity, Blockage, Inactivation, and Gating
Online Presentations | 03 Nov 2006 | Contributor(s):: Benoit Roux, NCN at Northwestern University
The determination of the structure of the KcsA K+ channel fromStreptomyces lividan has made it possible to investigate the functionof a biological channel at the atomic level. Because of its structuralsimilarity with eukaryotic K-channels, investigations of KcsA areexpected to help understand a...
