A fully atomistic model of the Cx32 connexon.

PloS one - 2 Jul 2008

Pantano Sergio, Zonta Francesco, Mammano Fabio

Abstract excerpt

Connexins are plasma membrane proteins that associate in hexameric complexes to form channels named connexons. Two connexons in neighboring cells may dock to form a "gap junction" channel, i.e. an intercellular conduit that permits the direct exchange of solutes between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells and thus mediate cell-cell ion and metabolic signaling. The lack of high resolution data for connexon structures...
