Abstract excerpt
Functional and structural studies demonstrate that Cl(-) channels of the ClC family have a dimeric double-barrelled structure, with each monomer contributing an identical pore. Single protopore gating is a fast process dependent on Cl(-) interaction within the selectivity filter and in ClC-0 has a low temperature coefficient over a 10 degrees C range (Q(10)). A slow gating process closes both protopores...
