  2. 6. Voltage-Sensor Domains of Ion Channels : Physiology, Regulation, and Role in Disease

    Author : Michelle Nilsson; Antonios Pantazis; Fredrik Elinder; Henry M. Colecraft; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Brain function depends on the ability of neurons to sense and respond to electricity, which is mediated by small modules in the neuronal membrane called voltage-sensor domains (VSDs). Disruption of VSD function can cause neurological disease such as epilepsy. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular modeling; Molecular dynamics; Voltage-gating; Ion channels; Protein structure prediction; Chemistry; Kemi; biokemi; inriktning teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry with Emphasis on Theoretical Chemistry;

    Abstract : The recent determination of several crystal structures of voltage-gated ion channels has catalyzed computational efforts of studying these remarkable molecular machines that are able to conduct ions across biological membranes at extremely high rates without compromising the ion selectivity. Starting from the open crystal structures, we have studied the gating mechanism of these channels by molecular modeling techniques. READ MORE

  7. 10. Thermo- and chemosensitive properties of Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 ion channels

    Author : Lavanya Moparthi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
