Acetylcholine receptor channel ionic selectivity: ions experience an aqueous environment.
Alkali metal and alkaline earth cations pass readily through the acetylcholine receptor channel. Monovalent cations with larger crystal radii are more permeant than ones with smaller radii. For divalent ions, this selectivity sequence is reversed: smaller ions are more permeant than larger ones. This reversal in selectivity sequence with change of valence from 1 to 2 can be naturally accounted ...
متن کاملCation selectivity of acetylcholine-activated ionic channel of frog endplate
Ionic selectivity of the acetylcholine-activated ionic channel of frog endplate membranes to various organic cations has been studied. The ratio of test cation permeability (PX) to sodium permeability (PNa) was estimated by two methods, one based on the measurements in test cation solutions of the amplitude of transient depolarization induced by iontophoretic application of acetylcholine, and t...

متن کاملRevised ionic radii of lanthanoid(III) ions in aqueous solution.
A new set of ionic radii in aqueous solution has been derived for lanthanoid(III) cations starting from a very accurate experimental determination of the ion-water distances obtained from extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data. At variance with previous results, a very regular trend has been obtained, as expected for this series of elements. A general procedure to compute ionic r...
متن کاملSingle-particle cryo-EM of the ryanodine receptor channel in an aqueous environment.
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are tetrameric ligand-gated Ca2+ release channels that are responsible for the increase of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration leading to muscle contraction. Our current understanding of RyR channel gating and regulation is greatly limited due to the lack of a high-resolution structure of the channel protein. The enormous size and unwieldy shape of Ca2+ release channels make...
