What are the origins of cellular ion channels and integral membrane proteins?

[Chatul]

I like science, which is obvious if I'm on this forum. I mostly like biology but I dabble a little in everything. I like answering questions people have in introductory biology and chemistry. For my own interests, I mostly read about cellular ion channels, but I also read about integral membrane proteins in general. I don't know why, but they really interest me and I seem to naturally understand them. I hope to learn to use programs like BLAST, I'm really into how proteins first evolved and then through evolution gained many different functions. I like the idea of figuring out when and how the protein first evolved. I like medicine in general and I understand pharmacology pretty well.

Chatul is Hebrew for cat. I like cats.
