Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to study the interaction of Cl- with a gramicidin-like channel. The results suggest that there is a high-energy barrier at the entrance of the channel, which would correspond to a permeability 10-9-times that of a cation of the same size. This could account for the cationic selectivity of the gramicidin channel and indicates that valence selectivity is kinetically controlled.
