摘要

These are the best of times for membrane biologists with a surge of interest in membrane proteins and processes, and an ever-increasing number of techniques coming to bear on all matters membranous. These are the worst of times for membrane biologists with the disparity between the number of structures of soluble and membrane proteins solved growing to three orders of magnitude and counting. The voltage-gated K~+ channel is now perhaps the best studied membrane protein, with a variety of techniques mapping aspects of function onto specific portions of the sequence. However, an understanding of how the protein senses transmembrane potential and transduces changes in potential into channel opening requires a three-dimensional structure. This has now been provided by the recent structures of the archaebacterial channel KvAP reported by Rod MacKinnon's group.
