The common features of tetrameric ion channels and the role of electrostatic interactions
The three tetrameric voltage-gated K+, Na+, and Ca2+ ion channels share a high number of common structural features. Moreover, they share a common charge distribution over the corresponding molecular components. These common features point to an energetically favored pathway of channel opening. This...
