New clues to the structural dynamics of BK channels

Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 13:30 in Biology & Nature

BK channels (large-conductance, Ca2+-dependent K+ channels) are essential for the regulation of important biological processes such as smooth muscle tone and neuronal excitability. New research shows that BK channel activation involves structural rearrangements formerly not understood.
