Abstract excerpt
The structure of the Shaker potassium channel has been modeled as passing through the cellular membrane eight times with both the NH2 and COOH termini on the cytoplasmic side (Durrell, S.R., and H.R. Guy. 1992. Biophys. J. 62:238-250). To test the validity of this model, we have inserted an epitope consisting of eight hydrophilic amino acids (DYKDDDDK) in predicted extracellular and intracellular loops throughout...
