Synopsis

K+ channels regulate the passage of potassium ions across lipid membranes, influencing numerous biological functions, including homeostasis, sensory perception, and information transmission. This volume explores the widespread involvement of K+ channels in cellular processes, which makes these membrane proteins intriguing targets for both fundamental scientific inquiry and the development of pharmaceutical compounds. The chapters in this book provide an in-depth look at various techniques and the latest protocols commonly used in ion channel research to investigate K+ channel structures, functions, and their interactions with drugs. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

Cutting-edge and thorough, Potassium Channels: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for any researcher who is interested in learning more about potassium channels. Chapters 5 and 7 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
