Lipid Chemistry and Mechanical State of the Membrane Modulate Ion Channel Function
<p>My research focused on voltage-dependent K<sup>+</sup> (Kv) channels. Kv channels serve many different functions in different cells, but most notably underlie action potentials in electrically excitable cells, such as neurons and muscle (Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952, 1945). Kv channel gating is …

Voltage-dependent gating at the selectivity filter of the MthK K+ channel.
Voltage-dependent K+ channels can undergo a gating process known as C-type inactivation. This type of gating consists of entry into a nonconducting state that may involve conformational changes near the channel's selectivity filter. However, the details of the underlying mechanisms are not clear. …
