Document Summary

This problem set consists of a series of questions relating structure function. Is the selectivity filter a sequence motif, a functional motif, or a structural motif: propose a reason why potassium channels have evolved to be tetrameric, explain how the pore helices of potassium channels help to facilitate their rapid conduction of charged ions across the membrane, with respect to the knock on mechanism of ion conduction through the potassium channel selectivity filter, why is it significant that the four sites for.
