Potassium channels and their evolving gates

L Y Jan et al. Nature. .

Abstract

Potassium channels allow potassium ions to flow across the membrane and play a key role in maintaining membrane potential. Recent research has begun to reveal how these channels transport potassium in preference to other ions, how their activity is controlled, and how they are related to other channels.
