Background/Purpose: Inward rectifying potassium channel 6.2 (Kir6.2 Δ C26 channel) is closely related to ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Whether sodium azide, barium ion, d-amphetamine or procaine acts directly on the Kir6.2 Δ C26 channel remains ...

Gating and selectivity mechanisms for the lysosomal K+ channel TMEM175
Transmembrane protein 175 (TMEM175) is a K+-selective ion channel expressed in lysosomal membranes, where it establishes a membrane potential essential for lysosomal function and its dysregulation is associated with the development of Parkinson’s Disease.

Strontium and Barium in Aqueous Solution and a Potassium Channel Binding Site [PDF]
Ion hydration structure and free energy establish criteria for understanding selective ion binding in potassium K+ ion channels, and may be significant to understanding blocking mechanisms as well. Recently, we investigated the hydration properties of Ba2+, the most potent blocker of K+ channels among the simple metal ions.

Characterization of potassium channels in pancreatic β cells from ob/ob mice [PDF]
The patch-clamp technique in the cell-attached mode was used to study the K channels present in the membrane of cultured pancreatic β cells from ob/ob mice. Three types of K+ channels were regularly observed, with conductances of 64, 20 and 146 pS.

Electrodiffusion with calcium-activated potassium channels in dendritic spine [PDF]
We investigate calcium signaling feedback through calcium-activated potassium channels of a dendritic spine by applying the immersed boundary method with electrodiffusion. We simulate the stochastic gating of such ion channels and the resulting spatial distribution of concentration, current, and membrane voltage within the dendritic spine.

A novel polymer electrolyte membrane with a hyperbranched interpenetrating hydrogen bond network structure is developed. The unique structure of the hyperbranched polymer contributes to a high glass transition temperature exceeding 400 °C, enabling its operation at elevated temperatures for fuel cell applications.

Evolutionary Analysis of Biological Excitability [PDF]
Excitability is an attribute of life, and is a driving force in the descent of complexity. Cellular electrical activity as realized by membrane proteins that act as either channels or transporters is the basis of excitability. Electrical signaling is mediated by a wave of action potentials, which consist of synchronous redistribution of ionic gradients
