MicroED structure of the NaK ion channel reveals a Na+ partition process into the selectivity filter
Through a MicroED structure of NaK ion channel, Shian Liu and Tamir Gonen identify a process of dilation coupled with Na+ movement, providing mechanistic insights into ion conduction and gating. This study lays the ground work for future studies using MicroED in membrane protein biophysics.
