A Cation–π Interaction between Extracellular TEA and an Aromatic Residue in Potassium Channels
Open-channel blockers such as tetraethylammonium (TEA) have a long history as probes of the permeation pathway of ion channels. High affinity blockade by extracellular TEA requires the presence of an aromatic amino acid at a position that sits at the external entrance of the permeation pathway (resi...
