Abstract

Ionic currents through many different cation channels are specifically reduced by internal and/or external $Mg^{2＋}$ within a concentration range of physiological relevance. Although there are many ways for a divalent cation to reduce channel currents, the current blockade by directly binding to a conduction pore has been most well studied.(omitted)
