摘要
Recent advances in membrane protein crystallography have greatly increased structural information of channels permeating metal ions. Structural bioinformatics techniques and molecular dynamics calculations are providing structural models of ion channels for which the three-dimensional structure is not known. Most of the reported structure prediction studies focus on K+ channels and are based on the KcsA K+ channel structure.
