Molecular dynamics simulations show how potassium passes through an ion channel at atomic resolution
They are literally channels for communication: Pore-forming proteins in living cells, termed ion channels, are embedded in the outer membrane of almost all cell types and play a crucial role in the body's various communication systems. Blood, immune, and liver cells communicate via these channels. Nerve cells use them to transmit electrical signals to other cells.
