Calcium-dependent Gating of MthK, a Prokaryotic Potassium Channel

MthK is a calcium-gated, inwardly rectifying, prokaryotic potassium channel. Although little functional information is available for MthK, its high-resolution structure is used as a model for eukaryotic Ca2+-dependent potassium channels. Here we characterize in detail the main gating characteristics...
