Dynamical model of the CLC-2 ion channel reveals conformational changes associated with selectivity-filter gating.

This work reports a dynamical Markov state model of CLC-2 "fast" (pore) gating, based on 600 microseconds of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In the starting conformation of our CLC-2 model, both outer and inner channel gates are closed. The first conformational change in our dataset in...
