    Mg2+-dependent conformational equilibria in CorA and an integrated view on transport regulation

    Nicolai Tidemand Johansen, Marta Bonaccorsi ... Lise Arleth
    The Mg2+-channel CorA explores a wide conformational landscape of non-conducting states irrespective of bound Mg2+, but only in abscence of Mg2+, conducting states become accessible due to increased backbone dynamics.
