The structure of a potassium-selective ion channel reveals a hydrophobic gate regulating ion permeation

Protein dynamics are essential to function. One example of this is the various gating mechanisms within ion channels, which are transmembrane proteins that act as gateways into the cell. Typical ion channels switch between an open and closed state via a conformational transition which is often trigg...
