Figure 1.
Figure 1. Structure of KcsA. The gray lines represent the level of the cell membrane. KcsA (two subunits shown) is displayed in a ribbon representation. The TVGYG selectivity filter signature sequence and residues lining the cavity wall are shown as ball-and-stick. Ions (green spheres) and water molecules (red spheres) are covered with an electron density map (2F[o]–F[c], contoured at 2σ) to validate their positions. Figure 1. Structure of KcsA.
