New Roles for a Key Glycine and Its Neighboring Residue in Potassium Channel Gating

Potassium channel activation regulates cellular excitability in cells such as neurons and heart. Ion channel activity relies on a switching mechanism between two conformations, the open and closed states, known as gating. It has been suggested that potassium channels are gated via a pivoted mechanis...
