Dynamic modulation of the lipid translocation groove generates a conductive ion channel in Ca2+-bound nhTMEM16

A membrane-exposed groove in Ca2+-gated TMEM16 scramblases forms the translocation pathway for ions and lipids. Here authors combine molecular dynamics with cryo-EM and functional assays to uncover the conformational transitions of the groove leading to a non-selective ion channel pore.
