Lipid-mediated hydrophobic gating in the BK potassium channel
Abstract Structures of the large-conductance, calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel in the Ca2+ −bound and Ca2+ −free states have suggested that K+ conduction is not gated via a steric closure of the pore-lining helices of the channel, in contrast to the gating mechanism of other 6TM channels.
