Multiple pore conformations driven by asynchronous movements of voltage sensors in a eukaryotic sodium channel

Voltage-dependent Na(+) channels are crucial for electrical signalling in excitable cells. Membrane depolarization initiates asynchronous movements in four non-identical voltage-sensing domains of the Na(+) channel. It remains unclear to what extent this structural asymmetry influences pore gating a...
