Self-organized enhancement of conductivity in biological ion channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We discuss an example of self-organisation in a biological system. It arises from long-range ion-ion interactions, and it leads us to propose a novel mechanism of enhanced conduction in ion channels.

Pharmacological Characterization of a Recombinant Mitochondrial ROMK2 Potassium Channel Expressed in Bacteria and Reconstituted in Planar Lipid Bilayers

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
In the inner mitochondrial membrane, several potassium channels that play a role in cell life and death have been identified. One of these channels is the ATP-regulated potassium channel (mitoKATP).

Non-equilibrium stochastic dynamics of open ion channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present and discuss a modified version of reaction rate theory (RRT) to describe the passage of a positive ion through a biological ion channel. It takes explicit account of the non-equilibrium nature of the permeation process. Unlike traditional RRT,

Alternative Targets for Modulators of Mitochondrial Potassium Channels

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Mitochondrial potassium channels control potassium influx into the mitochondrial matrix and thus regulate mitochondrial membrane potential, volume, respiration, and synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Photocatalytic Isomerization of (E)-Anethole to (Z)-Anethole

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Natural product (E)-anethole was isomerized to (Z)-anethole in a photocatalytic reaction. For this purpose, a self-designed cheap photoreactor was constructed.

Identification of the Large-Conductance Ca2+-Regulated Potassium Channel in Mitochondria of Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Mitochondria play a key role in energy metabolism within the cell. Potassium channels such as ATP-sensitive, voltage-gated or large-conductance Ca2+-regulated channels have been described in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Ion channels [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetologia, 1992
Insulin secretion by the pancreatic Beta cell is dependent upon transmembrane ion fluxes gated by the ATP-regulated potassium channel and the voltage regulated, L-type calcium channel. This work group examined major recent advances in the structure and modulation of ion channels and how those advances may pertain to the physiology of insulin secretion ...

Ion channels [PDF]

open access: yesThorax, 2013
Effective therapies for the 10% of patients with 'severe' asthma remain elusive, while other pulmonary diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are currently untreatable. Many cellular processes rely heavily on signals delivered by changes in the intracellular-free Ca(2+) concentration, in many cases relying on Ca(2+) influx from the ...

Mitochondrial Potassium Channels as Druggable Targets

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Mitochondrial potassium channels have been described as important factors in cell pro-life and death phenomena. The activation of mitochondrial potassium channels, such as ATP-regulated or calcium-activated large conductance potassium channels, may have ...
