Description
Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to obtain estimates of diffusion coefficients of biologically important Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Cl- ions in hydrophobic cylindrical channels with varying radii and large reservoirs. Calculations for the cylindrical channels are compared to those for the KcsA potassium channel, for which the protein structure has recently been determined from X-ray diffraction experiments. Our results show that ion diffusion is maintained at reasonably high levels even...[Show more]
