Accessing gap-junction channel structure-function relationships through molecular modeling and simulations
BACKGROUND: Gap junction channels (GJCs) are massive protein channels connecting the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. These channels allow intercellular transfer of molecules up to ~1 kDa, including water, ions and other metabolites. Unveiling structure-function relationships coded into the molecular ar...
