Abstract excerpt
The peptide segment S6 is known to form the inner lining of the voltage-gated K+ channel KvAP (potassium channel of archaea-bacterium, Aeropyrum pernix). In our previous work, it has been demonstrated that S6 itself can form an ion channel on a bilayer lipid membrane (BLM). In the present work, the role of a specific amino acid sequence 'LIG' in determining the secondary structure of S6 has been investigated. For...
