Exploring the gating mechanism in the ClC chloride channel via metadynamics.

Abstract excerpt

Computer simulations have been used to probe the gating mechanism in the Salmonella serovar typhimurium chloride channel (st-ClC). Specifically, the recently developed metadynamics methodology has been exploited to construct free energy surfaces as a function of the positions of either one or two chloride ions inside the pore, the position and protonation state of the key E148 residue, and the number of water...
