In silico assessment of the conduction mechanism of the Ryanodine Receptor 1 reveals previously unknown exit pathways

Abstract The ryanodine receptor 1 is a large calcium ion channel found in mammalian skeletal muscle. The ion channel gained a lot of attention recently, after multiple independent authors published near-atomic cryo electron microscopy data. Taking advantage of the unprecedented quality of structural...

description Abstract The ryanodine receptor 1 is a large calcium ion channel found in mammalian skeletal muscle.
