摘要
Crystal structures have been solved foe the transbilayer pore domain of a bacterial K+ channel and the tetramerisation domain of a voltage-gated K+ channel. These provide our first real structural insights into possible mechanisms of ion selectivity and permeation for K+ channels. (C) Current Biology Ltd.
