Molecular dynamics studies for the voltage-driven transport of the alkali metal ions lithium, sodium, and potassium through gramicidin A-type channels filled with water molecules are presented. The number of water molecules in the channel is obtained from a previous study (Skerra, A., and J. Brickmann, 1987, Biophys. J., 51:969-976). It is shown that the selectivity of the intrachannel ion diffusion through our model pore conforms to the experimentally observed selectivity of the gramicidin A channel. It is demonstrated that the number of water molecules in the channel plays a key role for the selectivity.
本文展示了关于碱金属离子锂、钠和钾通过充满水分子的短杆菌肽A类通道的电压驱动传输的分子动力学研究。通道中的水分子数量取自先前的一项研究(Skerra, A.和J. Brickmann, 1987, 《生物物理杂志》, 51:969 - 976)。结果表明,通过我们的模型孔隙的通道内离子扩散选择性符合短杆菌肽A通道的实验观察选择性。结果证明,通道中的水分子数量对选择性起着关键作用。
