Computer simulations of voltage‐gated potassium channel KvAP
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The recent crystal structures of the voltage‐gated potassium channel KvAP and its isolated voltage‐sensing “paddle” (composed of segments S1 to S4) (Jiang et al., Nature 2003, 423, 33–41) challenged existing models of voltage gating and encouraged a large number of experimental and theoretical studies to answer a number of questions about the structure of the physiologically relevant states of voltage‐gated potassium channels and their gating mechanism. We describe equilibrium simulations of the KvAP crystal structure. The crystal structure of the full channel undergoes a large conformational change, localized to the S1–S4 domains, as the S1–S4 domains move into the membrane. We also present a model of the closed state, in agreement with the position of the paddle in the paddle model of voltage gating. Finally, we estimate the energetic cost of transferring a single arginine sidechain from water into an octane slab with the approximate hydrophobic thickness of a membrane. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
