Voltage-gated ion channels sense transmembrane voltage changes via a paddle-shaped motif that includes the C-terminal part of the third transmembrane segment (S3b) and the N-terminal part of theĀ fourth segment (NTS4) that harbors voltage-sensing arginines. Here, we find that residue triplets in S3b and NTS4 can . . . → Read More: A Shaker K+ Channel with a Miniature Engineered Voltage Sensor
