Deskripsi

Potassium (K+) channels, such as MthK, are essentional for many biological processes, but how lipid-protein interactions regulate ion permeation of K+ channels remained unclear. Here authors conducted molecular dynamics simulations of MthK and observed different ion permeation rates of MthK in membranes with different properties.
