Structural insights into the mechanism of pancreatic KATP channel regulation by nucleotides

KATP channels are energy sensors. Here, authors report the Cryo-EM structures of pancreatic KATP in both the closed state and the pre-open state. These structures illuminate the mechanism of KATP channel regulation by the intracellular nucleotides.
