Anomalous X-ray diffraction studies of ion transport in K+ channels
The number of K+ occupied binding sites in the selectivity filter of potassium ion channels is still under debate. Here, the authors collect diffraction data on the K+ selective NaK channel NaK2K at a wavelength of 3.35 Å, close to the K absorption edge, revealing that all four binding sites in the...
