Electrostatics studies and molecular dynamics simulations of a homology model of the Shaker K+ channel pore.

A homology model of the pore domain of the Shaker K+ channel has been constructed using a bacterial K+ channel, KcsA, as a template structure. The model is in agreement with mutagenesis and sequence variability data. A number of structural features are conserved between the two channels, including a...
