Long-pore Electrostatics in Inward-rectifier Potassium Channels

Inward-rectifier potassium (Kir) channels differ from the canonical K(+) channel structure in that they possess a long extended pore (∼85 Å) for ion conduction that reaches deeply into the cytoplasm. This unique structural feature is presumably involved in regulating functional properties specific t...
