Ion Channel Selectivity through Stepwise Changes in Binding Affinity

Voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels select Ca(2+) over competing, more abundant ions by means of a high affinity binding site in the pore. The maximum off rate from this site is ∼1,000× slower than observed Ca(2+) current. Various theories that explain how high Ca(2+) current can pass through such a stick...
