Towards Molecular Biophysics of Ion Channels (International Congress Series)
(This volume is based on the proceedings of the 19th Tanig...)
This volume is based on the proceedings of the 19th Taniguchi symposium in biophysics held at Nagoya, Japan, organized to help find a path towards the molecular biophysics of the ion channel. The 1990s have seen much progress in the structure-function study of ion channels. Many scientists now see their ultimate goal as an understanding of ion channel functions based on the dynamics of channel molecules. Parts I and II examine the combination of electrophysiology and gene technology that has been demonstrated through the structure-function of ion channels. Parts IV and V show scientific efforts to depict an essence common to various ion channels and to understand the physical logic of ion channel functioning. Part III indicates paths still to be traced in channel engineering, a method where synthetic molecules could realize channel functions.
