Approaches for the modulation of mechanosensitive MscL channel pores
MscL was the first mechanosensitive ion channel identified in bacteria. The channel opens its large pore when the turgor pressure of the cytoplasm increases close to the lytic limit of the cellular membrane. Despite their ubiquity across organisms, their importance in biological processes, and the l...
