Molecular dynamics simulations and KcsA channel gating.
The gating mechanism of a bacterial potassium channel, KcsA, has been investigated via multi-nanosecond molecular dynamic simulations of the channel molecules embedded in a fully solvated palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer. Four events are seen in which a cation (K(+) or, in one case, Na(+))...
