An iris diaphragm mechanism to gate a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel

Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) ion channels are non-selective cation channels key to signal transduction, but conformational changes associated with gating remained unknown. Here authors use high-speed atomic force microscopy to visualize SthK channels dynamics in response to cyclic nucleotides.
