Being flexible: the voltage-controllable activation gate of Kv channels

Kv channels form voltage-dependent potassium selective pores in the outer cell membrane and are composed out of four -subunits, each having six membrane-spanning -helices (S1-S6). The -subunits tetramerize such that the S5-S6 pore domains co-assemble into a centrally located K+ pore which is surr...
