Abstract excerpt
Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels are activated in response to the direct binding of cyclic nucleotides to an intracellular domain. This domain is thought to contain a beta roll and two alpha helices, designated the B and C helices. To probe the conformational changes occurring in the ligand-binding domain during channel activation, we used the substituted cysteine accessibility method (SCAM). We found that...
