Molecular simulations of hydrophobic gating of pentameric ligand gated ion channels: Insights into water and ions

Ion channels are proteins which form gated nanopores in biological membranes. Many channels exhibit hydrophobic gating, whereby functional closure of a pore occurs by local dewetting. The pentameric ligand gated ion channels (pLGICs) provide a biologically important example of hydrophobic gating. Mo...
