Perspectives on: Ion selectivity

Perspectives on: Ion selectivity

The purpose of the Perspectives in General Physiology is to provide a forum where scientific uncertainties or controversies are discussed in an authoritative, yet open manner. The Perspectives are solicited by the editors— often based on recommendations by members of the editorial advisory board. To frame the issue, two or more experts are invited to present brief points of view on the problem;...

Perspectives on : Ion selectivity Design principles for K + selectivity in membrane transport

Please note that Yu et al. (2010. J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 132:10847–10856) cited the wrong LJ parameter set used for Na+ and K+ ions (Andersen, O.S., and B. Roux, personal communication). In their study, Yu et al. (2010) did not use the parameter set from Beglov and Roux (1994. J. Chem. Phys. 100:9050–9063), but instead the parameter set from Noskov and Roux (2008. J. Mol. Biol. 377:804–818). These...
