We explicitly identify the possible probability entrance laws for a class of measure-valued processes that are constructed by taking a particular measure-valued Markov branching process and conditioning it to stay away from the zero measure trap. The set of extreme points of the entrance space is larger than the state space of the conditioned process, and contains elements which correspond to "...

The fluorescent unnatural amino acid, (7-hydroxycoumarin-4-yl)ethylglycine (HC), was site-specifically incorporated at the Phe69 site, close to the entrance of the selectivity filter of the NaK channel. Decreased fluorescence lifetime and elevated time-resolved anisotropy of NaK-F69HC in buffers with high K(+)/Na(+) molar ratios indicated the K(+) preference at the entrance of the NaK channel, ...
