Energetic and structural impact of cyclic nucleotide binding to hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels

Hyperpolarization-activated Cyclic Nucleotide-gated, HCN, channels contribute to the membrane potential of excitable cells including pacemaker cells of the heart and neurons in the brain. By binding to the inner side of the HCN channel, cAMP facilitates channel opening, but the underlying mechanism...
