Ball And Chain Inactivation

Antz and fakler 1988.
Ball and chain inactivation. The process is also called hinged lid inactivation or n type inactivation. In neurons inactivation of both sodium and potassium channels is crucial for the generation of action potentials and regulation of firing frequency1 2. Open closed or inactivated. In neuroscience ball and chain inactivation is a model to explain the fast inactivation mechanism of voltage gated ion channels.
A nice review of the original experimental evidence for the ball and chain model in vgkcs. The process is also called hinged lid inactivation or n type inactivation. 2013 ball and chain inactivation. Cite this entry as.
Ball and chain inactivation of ion channels visualized by cryo electron microscopy. In neuroscience ball and chain inactivation is a model to explain the fast inactivation mechanism of voltage gated ion channels. By weill cornell medical college. A cytoplasmic domain of either the channel or an accessory subunit is thought to plug the open pore to inactivate the channel via a ball and chain mechanism3 7.
Eds encyclopedia of biophysics. N type inactivation in voltage gated potassium channels. Open closed or inactivated. A voltage gated ion channel can be in three states.
In neuroscience ball and chain inactivation is a model to explain the fast inactivation mechanism of voltage gated ion channels. Fast inactivation of voltage gated k channels. The process is also called hinged lid inactivation or n type inactivation. The structural information in the above paper is out of date.
Ball and chain inactivation of ion channels visualized by cryo electron microscopy. Calcium gated potassium channel mthk in closed open and inactivated states. A voltage gated ion channel can be in three states. A cytoplasmic domain of either the channel or an accessory subunit is thought to plug the open pore to inactivate the channel via a ball and chain mechanism3 7.
Ball and chain inactivation of ion channels visualized by cryo electron microscopy. Ion channels which allow potassium and sodium ions to flow in and out of cells are crucial in neuronal firing. Ball and chain inactivation can only happen if the channel is open. From cartoon to structure.
Calcium gated potassium channel mthk in closed open and inactivated states from left to right.
