Big data analysis, protein structure prediction, and artificial intelligence are integrated to predict novel and highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants.
The conformation of an isoleucine gate located along the TM6 segment on the intracellular side below the selectivity filter is a critical component leading to a non-conductive state in the C-type inactivation process of K+ channels.
TIM23 core deficiency specifically impacts the oxidative phosphorylation and the mitochondrial ribosome complexes and, unexpectedly, leads to reduction of plasma membrane voltage-dependent potassium channels in neurons.
