Abstract excerpt
Most potassium channels have two main gate locations, hosting an inner gate at the cytosolic entrance and a filter gate in the selectivity filter; the function of these gates is in many channels coupled. To obtain exclusive insights into the molecular mechanisms that determine opening and closing of the filter gate, we use a combination of single-channel recordings and gating analysis in the minimal viral channel...
