Ion concentration-dependent ion conduction mechanism of a voltage-sensitive potassium channel.

Voltage-sensitive potassium ion channels are essential for life, but the molecular basis of their ion conduction is not well understood. In particular, the impact of ion concentration on ion conduction has not been fully studied. We performed several micro-second molecular dynamics simulations of th...
