Large-conductance Ca2+-and voltage-activated K+ (BK) channels play many physiological
roles ranging from the maintenance of smooth muscle tone to hearing and neurosecretion …

Molecular research on ion channels has demonstrated that many of these integral
membrane proteins associate with partner proteins, often versatile in their function, or even …

Solid‐state potassium metal batteries (SPMBs) are promising candidates for the next
generation of energy storage systems for their low cost, safety, and high energy density …

Abstract The Ca2+-activated K+ channel, Slo1, has an unusually large conductance and
contains a voltage sensor and multiple chemical sensors. Dual activation by membrane …

The precise control of an ion channel gate by environmental stimuli is crucial for the
fulfilment of its biological role. The gate in Slo1 K+ channels is regulated by two separate …

The voltage-and Ca 2+-activated K+(BK) channels are involved in the regulation of
neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability. Structurally, BK channels are …

Ion transport across cell membranes is essential to cell communication and signaling.
Passive ion transport is mediated by ion channels, membrane proteins that create ion …

Calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels are ubiquitously expressed throughout the
body and are able to regulate membrane potential and intracellular calcium concentrations …

Myogenic, or pressure-induced, vasoconstriction is critical for local blood flow
autoregulation. Underlying this vascular smooth muscle (VSM) response are events …

Ca 2+-activated BK channels modulate neuronal activities, including spike frequency
adaptation and synaptic transmission. Previous studies found that Ca 2+-binding sites and …
