    R MacKinnon
    Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology and Biophysics and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Rockefeller University, 1230 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021, USA
    Science 280:106-9. 1998
    ..The results show that a prokaryotic K+ channel has the same pore structure as eukaryotic K+ channels. This structural conservation, through application of techniques presented here, offers a new approach for K+ channel pharmacology...

    D A Doyle
    Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology and Biophysics and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Rockefeller University, 1230 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021, USA
    Science 280:69-77. 1998
    ..The architecture of the pore establishes the physical principles underlying selective K+ conduction...

    J P Imredy
    Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology and Biophysics, New York, NY 10021, USA
    J Mol Biol 296:1283-94. 2000
    ..These results constrain the possible orientation of dendrotoxin with respect to the K(+) channel structure. We propose that dendrotoxin binds near the pore entryway but does not act as a physical plug...

    Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology and Biophysics, Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021, USA
    Cell 95:649-55. 1998
    ..The presence of the domain attached to the channel slows the rate of deactivation. Given the roles of PAS domains in biology, we propose that the HERG N-terminal domain has a regulatory function...
