The February 2003 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Potassium Channels by Shuchismita Dutta and David S. Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2003_2. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 3.2Å Ligands: K Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function KCSA_STRLI Acts as a pH-gated potassium ion channel; changing the cytosolic pH from 7 to 4 opens the channel, although it is not clear if this is the physiological stimulus for channel opening. Monovalent cation preference is K(+) > Rb(+) > NH4(+) >> Na(+) > Li(+). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
