Site-specific ion occupation in the selectivity filter causes voltage-dependent gating in a viral K(+) channel

Many potassium channels show voltage-dependent gating without a dedicated voltage sensor domain. This is not fully understood yet, but often explained by voltage-induced changes of ion occupation in the five distinct K(+) binding sites in the selectivity filter. To better understand this mechanism o...
