Cell biology: Chloride channels are different
Thomas J. Jentsch
Abstract
Proteins that conduct chloride ions are vital for a range of cellular processes. The long-awaited crystal structure of a chloride channel shows what these proteins look like, and gives hints about how they work.
Ion channels are proteins with a seemingly simple task — to allow the passive flow of ions across biological membranes. But this process requires more sophistication than one would imagine.
