Conformational dynamics of helix S6 from Shaker potassium channel: simulation studies.
Prolines in transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices are believed to play an important structural and/or functional role in membrane proteins. At a structural level a proline residue distorts alpha-helical structure due to the loss of at least one stabilizing backbone hydrogen bond, and introduces flexibili...
