Voltage-gated Na Channels
2008
Biophysical Journal
Molecular modeling of the protein sequence and point mutations have shown that Na channel selectivity results from a narrow ring at the bottom of an outer vestibule composed of the side chains of aspartate ...
Overall, our results suggest that the simpler, tetrameric NaChBac channel is even more selective for Na than are eukaryotic Na V channels, and that NaChBac achieves this high selectivity by a unique molecular ...
Our models suggest a key role of Phe36 and Tyr41 in the binding of both toxins to the channel, while Tyr35, Trp37 and Trp40 can account for the higher affinity of PnTx2-6. ...

Benchmarking the stability of human detergent-solubilised voltage-gated sodium channels for structural studies using eel as a reference
2015
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes
With the ultimate goal of detailed structural analysis of mammalian and particularly human voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), we have investigated the relative stability of human and rat VGSCs and ...
methods that require greater stability such as crystallisation and X-ray crystallography, will require further stabilisation of the channel. ...
