Abstract

Ion channels are nanoscale protein pores in cell membranes. An exponentially increasing number of structures for channels means that computational methods for predicting their functional state are needed. Hydrophobic gates in ion channels result in local dewetting of pores, which functionally closes them to water and ion permeation. We use simulations of water behavior within nearly 200 different ion channel structures to explore how the radius and hydrophobicity of pores determine their hydration vs. dewetting behavior. Machine learning-assisted analysis of these simulations allowed us to propose a simple model for this relationship and present an easy method for rapidly predicting the functional state of new channel structures as they emerge.
