Structural changes in the cytoplasmic pore of the Kir1.1 channel during pH<sub>i</sub>-gating probed by FRET
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Kir1.1 channels are important in maintaining K<sup>+ </sup>homeostasis in the kidney. Intracellular acidification reversibly closes the Kir1.1 channel and thus decreases K<sup>+ </sup>secretion. In this study, we used Foster resonance ener...
