An open state of a voltage-gated sodium channel involving a π-helix and conserved pore-facing asparagine

Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels play critical roles in propagating action potentials and otherwise manipulating ionic gradients in excitable cells. These channels open in response to membrane depolarization, selectively permeating sodium ions until rapidly inactivating. Structural characterizati...
