摘要：
In this short review article, the effects of covalent tethering of alamethicin molecules on channel-forming behavior are described. Broadly speaking, these chemical modifications have provided insight into all three aspects of channel behavior: the structure of the conducting state, the ion-selectivity and ion-permeation properties, and the voltage dependence. Each of these aspects are discussed in turn.
