Comparison of ion distribution in MthK K+ channel. (Left) The selectivity filter of MthK with K+ ions (Protein Data Bank [PDB] accession no. 3LDC). An Fo–Fc ion omit map (4σ) shows the electron density in the filter. (Right) The selectivity filter of MthK with Na+ ions (PDB accession no. 3LDE). An Fo–Fc ion omit map (4σ) shows the electron density in the filter. Structures are from Ye et al. (2010).
