Single molecule FRET reveals pore size and opening mechanism of a mechano-sensitive ion channel

The mechanosensitive channel of large conductance, which serves as a model system for mechanosensitive channels, has previously been crystallized in the closed form, but not in the open form. Ensemble measurements and electrophysiological sieving experiments show that the open-diameter of the channe...
