Quantum Mechanical Coherence of K<sup>+</sup> Ion Wave Packets Increases Conduction in the KcsA Ion Channel
We simulate the transmission of K<sup>+</sup> ions through the KcsA potassium ion channel filter region at physiological temperatures, employing classical molecular dynamics (MD) at the atomic scale together with a quantum mechanical version of MD simulation (QMD), treating single ions a...
