Atomic structure and plasticity of the MthK-CTX complex investigated by cryo-EM, NMR, and MD simulations

The paper investigates the binding of scorpion toxin CTX to the MthK channel using cryo-EM, NMR, and MD simulations to explain toxin affinity and subtype tolerance.

Atomic structure and dynamics of the mechanosensitive channel MscL from E. coli by cryo-EM and solid-state NMR

This study uses cryo-EM and solid-state NMR to determine the structure and dynamics of MscL from E. coli, revealing lipid-protein interactions that drive mechanosensitive gating.

Atomistic Mechanism of Calcium-Mediated Inward Rectification of the MthK Potassium Channel by Solid-State NMR and MD Simulations

This study identifies a calcium-mediated gating mechanism in the MthK potassium channel using solid-state NMR and MD simulations, revealing how Ca2+ blocks outward K+ flow while allowing inward flow.
