The selectivity of K+ ion channels: testing the hypotheses.
How K(+) channels are able to conduct certain cations yet not others remains an important but unresolved question. The recent elucidation of the structure of NaK, an ion channel that conducts both Na(+) and K(+) ions, offers an opportunity to test the various hypotheses that have been put forward to...
