Cooperative nature of gating transitions in K(+) channels as seen from dynamic importance sampling calculations.

Abstract excerpt

The growing dataset of K(+) channel x-ray structures provides an excellent opportunity to begin a detailed molecular understanding of voltage-dependent gating. These structures, while differing in sequence, represent either a stable open or closed state. However, an understanding of the molecular details of gating will require models for the transitions and experimentally testable predictions for the gating...
