Conformational changes in the human Cx43/GJA1 gap junction channel visualized using cryo-EM
Gap junction intercellular channels (GJIChs) facilitate direct communication between adjacent cells. Here, authors provide high-resolution information on dynamic structural changes in Cx43 GJICh that are necessary to understand the gating mechanism.
