Repost: Characterization of the infant noggin channel, Oral1

Conclusion: These data have substantially enhanced our understanding of the Oral1 selectivity filter, although in the absence of a successful attempt to crystallize Oral1, a precise structure of the channel pore is not yet available for us to draw more informative conclusions regarding the relationship between structure and function for this channel. Regardless, on the basis of the evidence presented in this paper, it is reasonable to predict that things are going to get progressively messier in the coming months.[Originally posted 4th Jan 2009]
