Abstract excerpt
Tandem pore-loop potassium channels differ from the majority of K(+) channels in that a single polypeptide chain carries two K(+)-specific segments (P) each sandwiched between two transmembrane helices (M) to form an MP(1)M-MP(2)M series. Two of these peptide molecules assemble to form one functional potassium channel, which is expected to have biaxial symmetry (commonly described as asymmetric) due to...
