Voltage-gated ion channels generate electrical signals in species from bacteria to man.
Their voltage-sensing modules are responsible for initiation of action potentials and graded …

Potassium channels ubiquitously exist in nearly all kingdoms of life and perform diverse but
important functions. Since the first atomic structure of a prokaryotic potassium channel …

Abstract Voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels repolarize the action potential in neurons and
muscle. This type of channel is gated directly by membrane voltage through protein domains …

Recent research has provided an abundance of new information on membrane
biochemistry. Now more than ever, it is essential to update our current understanding of …

Cells communicate with their external environment through physical and chemical
processes that take place in the cell-surrounding membrane. The membrane serves as a …

Voltage-gated potassium channels play a fundamental role in the generation and
propagation of the action potential. The discovery of these channels began with predictions …

Transport of ions through pores in membranes is a process of fundamental importance to
cell biology. In living organisms, such transport is facilitated by ion channels that utilize the …

Neurons transmit information through electrical signals generated by voltage-gated ion
channels. These channels consist of a large superfamily of proteins that form channels …

Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) represents a promising technology for efficient protein
production targeting especially so called “difficult-to-express” proteins whose synthesis is …

The crystal structure of a putative metal-chelate–type adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–binding
cassette (ABC) transporter encoded by genes HI1470 and HI1471 of Haemophilus …
