Artificial Modulation of the Gating Behavior of a K(+) Channel in a KvAP-DNA Chimera

We present experiments where the gating behavior of a voltage-gated ion channel is modulated by artificial ligand binding. We construct a channel-DNA chimera with the KvAP potassium channel reconstituted in an artificial membrane. The channel is functional and the single channel ion conductivity unp...
