Selectivity and permeation of alkali metal ions in K +-channels
- Abstract:
-
Ion conduction in K +-channels is usually described in terms of concerted movements of K + progressing in a single file through a narrow pore. Permeation is driven by an incoming ion knocking on those ions already inside the protein. A fine-tuned balance between high-affinity binding and electrostatic repulsive forces between permeant ions is needed to achieve efficient conduction. While K +-channels are known to be highl...
