Ion channel studies have been focused on ion channels from animal and human cells over many years. Based on the knowledge acquired, predominantly over the last 20 years, a large diversity of ion channels exists in cellular membranes of prokaryotes...

Mechanosensitive (MS) channels of small (MscS) and large (MscL) conductance are the major players in the protection of bacterial cells against hypoosmotic shock. Although a great deal is known about structure and function of these channels, much l...

Mechanosensitive channels act as molecular transducers of mechanical force exerted on the membrane of living cells by opening in response to membrane bilayer deformations occurring in physiological processes such as touch, hearing, blood pressure ...
The bacterial MscL (mechanosensitive channel of large conductance) is one of the best studied Mechanosensitive (MS) channels owing to its resolved 3D structure by X-ray crystallography. In addition MscL is known to be activated solely by tension i...
