Structural basis for Ca(2+) selectivity of a voltage-gated calcium channel

Voltage-gated calcium (Ca(V)) channels catalyze rapid, highly selective influx of Ca(2+) into cells despite 70-fold higher extracellular concentration of Na(+). How Ca(V) channels solve this fundamental biophysical problem remains unclear. Here we report physiological and crystallographic analyses o...
