Computational Studies on Polarization Effects and Selectivity in K+ Channels
Umbrella sampling in combination with a polarizable QM/MM model have been used to study the role of electrostatics and polarization in the translocation and selectivity properties of two K+ channels, KcsA and KirBac, with ions traversing the channel according to an ion-water-ion mechanism. Analysis...
