Voltage sensor conformations induced by LQTS-associated mutations in hERG potassium channels

Abstract Voltage sensors are essential for electromechanical coupling in hERG K+ channels, critical to cardiac rhythm. These sensors respond to membrane potential changes by moving within the transmembrane electric field. Mutations in hERG voltage-sensing arginines, associated with Long-QT syndrome,...
