Abstract excerpt
Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) ion channels mediate the response to light in retinal rods. They are tetramers of two homologous subunits (alpha and beta), each of which is essential for the function of the channels in vivo. We have investigated the stoichiometry and arrangement of these two subunits to determine how they come together within an individual channel complex. We exploited the very specific geometric...
