Energetic role of the paddle motif in voltage gating of Shaker K(+) channels

Voltage-gated ion channels underlie rapid electric signaling in excitable cells. Electrophysiological studies have established that the N-terminal half of the fourth transmembrane segment ((NT)S4) of these channels functions as the primary voltage sensor, whereas crystallographic studies have shown...
