Abstract
I Ion channels are complex protein structures comprising the molecular systems of opening, closing, selectivity, inactivation and regulation. This review article aims to generalize and systematize literature data on the structural and functional characteristics of ion channels and methods for investigating their activity. Violations of the activity of ion channels may alter the functioning of both individual cells and the entire organism. Therefore, further research into the structural and physiological characteristics of ion channels can be considered promising and relevant.
