Gating intermediates reveal inhibitory role of the voltage sensor in a cyclic nucleotide-modulated ion channel

Visualizing conformational changes during ion channel gating is crucial to understand their regulation. Here, Gao et al. capture multiple gating intermediates in a CNG channel as well as subtle, lateral voltage sensor movements necessary for channel opening.
