A computational study of barium blockades in the KcsA potassium channel based on multi-ion potential of mean force calculations and free energy perturbation

Electrophysiological studies have established that the permeation of Ba(2+) ions through the KcsA K(+)-channel is impeded by the presence of K(+) ions in the external solution, while no effect is observed for external Na(+) ions. This Ba(2+) “lock-in” effect suggests that at least one of the externa...
