New Rendering Of Ion Channel Suggests How Neurons Fire
Four years ago, Roderick MacKinnon, head of the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology and Biophysics at Rockefeller University, together with several members of his lab, published the first ever structure of a voltage-dependent potassium ion channel — a protein that controls the flow of potassium ions across nerve cell membranes and opens and closes in response to changes in cell membrane voltage.
