Congruent pattern of accessibility identifies minimal pore gate in a non-symmetric voltage-gated sodium channel

Gating of the central pore in voltage-dependent ion channels is mediated by changes in membrane potential. Here, the authors use substituted cysteine accessibility and metal cross-bridging to identify gate residues that form a physical occlusion when closed in a eukaryotic voltage-gated sodium chann...
