  eLife Assessment

  This valuable study employs transition-metal FRET (tmFRET) and time-correlated single-photon counting to investigate allosteric conformational changes in both isolated cyclic nucleotide-binding domains (CNBDs) and full-length bacterial CNG channels, demonstrating that transmembrane domains stabilize CNBDs in their active state. By comparing isolated CNBD constructs with full-length channels, the authors reveal how allosteric networks couple domain movements to gating energetics, providing insights into ion channel regulation mechanisms. The rigorous methodology and compelling quantitative analysis establish a framework for applying tmFRET to study conformational dynamics in diverse protein systems.
