Gramicidin channels have been studied intensively for more than 25years. They serve as model transport systems for largeprotein ion channels, since it is difficult to gleanhigh-resolution structural information on the latter.
This book includes contributions from virtually all themajor scientists studying gramicidin channels and is the onlycompilation of work in this field. It discusses crystallographic,spectroscopic, electrophysiological and computational studies,especially in the light of the recent availability ofhigh-resolution structural data, and it compares these withinsights derived from larger systems. As well as drawing togethermuch new and exciting work in this field, it provides pointers topromising new research directions.
