Control of voltage-gated K(+) channel permeability to NMDG(+) by a residue at the outer pore
Crystal structures of potassium (K(+)) channels reveal that the selectivity filter, the narrow portion of the pore, is only ∼3-Å wide and buttressed from behind, so that its ability to expand is highly constrained, and the permeation of molecules larger than Rb(+) (2.96 Å in diameter) is prevented....
