Adapting to the Cold The gating of potassium channels is temperature sensitive, suggesting that these channels must adapt to function efficiently in the extreme cold. Garrett and Rosenthal (p. 848 , published online 5 January; see the Perspective by Ö hman ) show that the coding sequences for delaye...
