Structural basis of TEA blockade in a model potassium channel
Structural basis of TEA blockade in a model potassium channel is a scholarly work, published in 2005 in ''Nature Structural & Molecular Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include potassium, organometallic chemistry, tetraethylammonium, membrane potential, heart arrhythmia, ion channel complex, KcsA potassium channel, potassium channel, tea, chemistry, voltage-gated potassium channel, inward-rectifier potassium channel, potassium channel blocker, and biophysics. The authors propose that TEA blocks potassium channels by acting as a potassium analog at the dehydration transition step during permeation.
