Research opening gates for better targeting drugs

Researchers at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) Department of Cell Physiology and Molecular Biophysics and the Center for Membrane Protein. Research have determined the kinetic cycle of a potassium channel at atomic resolution. Potassium channels are important for the normal functioning of the human body. The research study, “The Gating Cycle of a K+ Channel at Atomic Resolution,” was featured in the November issue of eLife.
