Tony....What is the evidence that the protein is indeed a K+
channel other than the homology data? Has it been expressed in
some sort of system? Secondly, I think you might want to talk
to fellow Woods Hole-er Richard Kramer at Columbia...who
did some interesting experiments this summer that in my vague
recollection may be of interest.
