Experimental Verification for 1r3j » Potassium channel KcsA
Locations of hydrophobic boundary planes are consistent with spin-labeling (Perozo et al. 1998, Cross et al. 1999, Cross and Hubbell 2002) and hydrophobic matching (Williamson et al. 2002, 2003) studies of KcsA. Average tilt of TM helices (31°) is consistent with ATR FTIR data (33°)(Le Coutre et al. 1998).
