Abstract excerpt
How ions pass through the lumen of an ion channel is a key question underlying cellular communication. The effects of water and pore-lining residues (channel design) have been extensively explored. However, the role of counterions is less well understood. The pore subunit of the calcium release-activated calcium channel, Orai, provides a useful model to explore the effect of anions on the permeation of cations....
