[edit] Summary

Potassium channel (PDB code=1bl8) is made of four identical subunits forming a selective pore. Potassium ions (shown in green) flow through the pore at rates of up to one hundred million ions per second. One sodium ion can pass every ten thousand potassium ions. This image was done by me using the real time open source QuteMol system with the presets that mimicks the . Molecule of the Month style.
