The S4–S5 Linker Acts as a Signal Integrator for hERG K(+) Channel Activation and Deactivation Gating

Human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) K(+) channels have unusual gating kinetics. Characterised by slow activation/deactivation but rapid inactivation/recovery from inactivation, the unique gating kinetics underlie the central role hERG channels play in cardiac repolarisation. The slow activation...
