The question

A potassium channel moves up to 100 million ions per second and blocks sodium, the smaller ion, every single time. Your heartbeat depends on it.

What we made

A short 3D animation of the channel at work. Ion selectivity, channel gating and ion transport across the membrane, all in a few seconds you can actually watch.

Details

Type: 3D molecular animation
