PSL1053H: Advanced Topics: Critical Assessment of Ion Channel Function

To provide graduate students with a broad exposure to a range of current research areas related to ion channels. Critical advances and papers dealing with ion channel structure and function will be covered. For example, activation gating of cation channels, inactivation mechanisms in cation channels, mechanisms of ion permeation and selectivity in cation channels, modulation of expression and function by accessory subunits in cation channels, permeation and regulation of water channels, allosteric regulation of cation channels (by ions, lipids, and phosphorylation), chloride channel regulation, and mathematical and computer modeling of ion channels.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
