Impact of a Terahertz electromagnetic field on the ion permeation of potassium and sodium channels

Structural analysis

We first computed the pore radius of each ion channel using HOLE⁴⁶ after equilibration to confirm that they adopt a stably open state (Fig. 1 right panels). The pore radius of K_v1.2 was 0.60 Å at SF and 2.90 Å at the…
