| Abstract | The determination of the structure of the KcsA K+ channel from Streptomyces lividan has made it possible to investigate the function of a biological channel at the atomic level. Because of its structural similarity with eukaryotic K-channels, investigations of KcsA are expected to help understand a large class of biologically important channels. We are currently working on several fundamental aspects of the function of the KcsA channel such as electrostatics, muti-ion permeation, channel gating, and inhibition by various blocking agents. |
