Polar groups in membrane channels: Consequences of replacing alanines with serines in membrane-spanning gramicidin channels

To explore the consequences of burying polar, hydrogen-bonding hydroxyl groups within the hydrocarbon core of lipid bilayer membranes, we examined the structural and functional effects of alanine-to-serine substitutions in bilayer-spanning gramicidin channels. A native Ala was replaced by Ser at pos...
