Abstract excerpt
X-ray structures permit theoretical study of Cl(-) permeation along bacterial ClC Cl(-) pores. We determined the lowest energy curvilinear pathway, identified anion-coordinating amino acids, and calculated the electrostatic potential energy profiles. We find that all four bacterial ClC Cl(-) crystal structures correspond to closed states. E148 and S107 side chains form steric barriers on both sides of the crystal...
