Abstract excerpt
We examined the late transitions in the activation sequence of potassium channels by analyzing gating currents of mutant Shaker IR channels and using the potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4AP). Gating currents were recorded from a double mutant of Shaker that was nonconducting (W434F mutation) and had the late gating transitions shifted to the right on the voltage axis (L382C mutation), thus separating...
