Ion permeation through neuronal nAChR ion channel
Alzheimer’s dementia is related to loss of inter-neuron communication by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) at post synaptic neurons, and successful therapy approaches rely e.g. on modulations of response signals initiated by ion flux through the receptor integrated ion channel. We have evaluated Umbrella Sampling (US) and Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD) pulling for calculation of the p...
متن کاملPore waters regulate ion permeation in a calcium release-activated calcium channel.
The recent crystal structure of Orai, the pore unit of a calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel, is used as the starting point for molecular dynamics and free-energy calculations designed to probe this channel's conduction properties. In free molecular dynamics simulations, cations localize preferentially at the extracellular channel entrance near the ring of Glu residues identified i...
متن کاملCalcium Channel Permeation: A Field in Flux
In 1955, Alan Hodgkin and Richard Keynes published a study whose intent was to answer a rather technical question, but whose result triggered the modern analysis of ion channel permeation (Hodgkin and Keynes, 1955). They aimed to determine whether the K 1 fluxes in giant axons followed the “Ussing flux ratio criterion,” which was then considered to indicate whether flux through a membrane occur...
متن کاملPermeation in the Dihydropyridine-sensitive Calcium Channel
We investigated the mechanism whereby ions cross dihydropyridinesensitive (L-type) Ca channels in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. At the singlechannel level, we found no evidence o f an anomalous mole-fraction effect like that reported previously for whole-cell currents in mixtures o f Ba and Ca. With the total concentration o f Ba + Ca kept constant at 10 (or 110) mM, neither conductance nor ...
متن کاملIntracellular Calcium Mobilization in Response to Ion Channel Regulators via a Calcium-Induced Calcium Release Mechanism
Free intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i), in addition to being an important second messenger, is a key regulator of many cellular processes including cell membrane potential, proliferation, and apoptosis. In many cases, the mobilization of [Ca2+]i is controlled by intracellular store activation and calcium influx. We have investigated the effect of several ion channel modulators, which have been us...
