A combination of crystallographic and mutagenesis studies on the HERG K+ channel, a key determinant of cardiac excitability, has suggested how the protein's extramembraneous amino-terminal domain might act as a 'molecular brake' that slows down channel deactivation.
对心脏兴奋性的关键决定因素HERG钾通道进行的晶体学和诱变研究相结合,揭示了该蛋白的膜外氨基末端结构域可能如何作为一种“分子刹车”来减缓通道失活。
