Figure 6

(A) Shows a schematic of the pore radius along the crystal structure of Kv1.2. The selectivity filter is shown in green and found between −40 and −25 along the Z axis. (B) Shows the pore radius along the Z axis for the protein at time points 25 ps (green) and 50 ps (blue). The pore radius of the crystal structure (PDB: 3LUT) is shown in red. These plots are centered on the largest radius along the Z axis. (C) Shows an overlay of the selectivity filter from the individual subunits (shades of green) at 50 ps with the crystal structure (red). Gly-378 in the displaced loop that blocks the pore is shown in violet. Typically one or two loops cause the closure of the pore. To see this figure in color, go online.
