[Analysis of the Divalent Cation Blocking in Ion Channels by Crystal Structure and Molecular Dynamics Simulations].

Abstract excerpt

Neural activity generates essential responses, such as thinking, memory formation, and muscle contraction. It is controlled by the well-coordinated activity of various cation-selective channels of the cell membrane. The divalent cation block plays an essential role in various tetrameric ion channels. For example, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors, which are tetrameric ion channels involved in memory formation,...
