channel proteins These form hydrophilic pores called ion channels which facilitate passage of ions and small water‑soluble molecules.
how do the proteins fold to line the channel protein? so that hydrophobic AA face the hydrophobic acyl tails, and the hydrophilic AA face inward. This makes polar lining for channel.
gated channels opened by something. Classified into 4 categories
voltage gated channels opens by depolarization of the membrane.The open position is unstable and returns to the closed position soon after opening.
ligand gated channels open by the binding of a signaling molecule to the gate. They remain open until the ligand dissassociates from the gate.
mechanically gated channels open by Physical manipulation is needed to open the gate, e.g. the hair cells of the inner ear, where bending of the stereocilia produces physical distortion that opens the gate.
G‑protein‑gated channels open by A G‑protein complex (containing guanosine) reacts with a receptor, causing activation of the G‑protein which interacts with the gate to open the gate.
