NEM modification prevents high-affinity ATP binding to the first nucleotide binding fold of the sulphonylurea receptor, SUR1.

Pancreatic beta-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channels, composed of SUR1 and Kir6.2 subunits, serve as a sensor for intracellular nucleotides and regulate glucose-induced insulin secretion. To learn more about the interaction of SUR1 with nucleotides, we examined the effect of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)...
