Combining Computational and Experimental Approaches to Characterize Ion Channels and Transporters


Book Description

Electrical signals in living cells arise from ion channels, which cause rapid changes of the membrane potential by the selective passage of certain ions across the membrane, and transporters, which generate ion gradients on a slower time scale and thus provide the energetic basis for the passive ion flux through channels. Ion channels and transporters are expressed in almost every living cell and fulfil a plethora of distinct cellular functions. An increasing number of human diseases are caused by dysfunctional ion channels or transporters makes these proteins important targets for pharmaceutical interventions. Understanding the structural dynamics of ion channels and transporters at atomic resolution will provide new insight into their function and represents an important step towards designing blockers or activators to specifically modulate their function as therapeutic option in diseases.
