In this study, we map the location of the functionally critical distal C-T helix (H6) relative to the proximal C-T and demonstrate, for the first time, interactions between H6 and the EF-hand motif in ...
Ion channels, which allow potassium and sodium ions to flow in and out of cells, are crucial in neuronal 'firing' in the central nervous system and for brain and heart function. These channels use a ' ...
The study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital presents a new understanding of how a VGIC, crucial for the communication of neurons and muscle cells, can become unresponsive. Scientists at St.
