Cover Story: The gate of a potassium channel, from its X-ray structure, has been studied. Parts have been calculated, and, with protons properly placed, calculation and X-ray structure agree. The figure shows four S6 helices bordering the gate. The purple sphere is a K+ ion, the small central molecules are water molecules, and the outer lines are six amino acids. View this paper.
