The functional significance of multimerization in ion channels.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, the allosteric behavior of ion channels has been investigated by recording the individual steps leading to the complete activation of a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. This information, in combination with recent studies on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor mutants, necessitates a modification of our current theories of the allosteric mechanisms of ion channels and gives new insights into the...
