The pore of voltage-dependent potassium channels
1Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.
Abstract:
Using a combination of electrophysiological and mutational analyses, the pore of K+ channels has been localized. Experiments have now been started on the mechanism of permeation and the value and limitations of the combined approach should soon become apparent.
