Abstract
Voltage gated potassium ion (Kv) channels are trans-membrane proteins that open and close their ion selective pore in response to changes in membrane voltage. Three negatively charged residues in the S2 and S3 helices are conserved in most Kv channels and form an electrostatic interaction network with positively charged residues of the S4, voltage sensing, helix. Previous studies with mouse Kv1.2 have shown that the length and composition of the...
