Potassium channel, ions, and water: simulation studies based on the high resolution X-ray structure of KcsA.

Interactions of Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), and Cs(+) ions within the selectivity filter of a potassium channel have been investigated via multiple molecular dynamics simulations (total simulation time, 48 ns) based on the high resolution structure of KcsA, embedded in a phospholipid bilayer. As in simulati...
