Insight into the mechanism of inactivation and pH sensitivity in potassium channels from molecular dynamics simulations.
Potassium (K (+)) channels can regulate ionic conduction through their pore by a mechanism, involving the selectivity filter, known as C-type inactivation. This process is rapid in the hERG K (+) channel and is fundamental to its physiological role. Although mutations within hERG are known to remove...
