All structures were obtained by single particle cryo-EM and comprise most of the channel proteins (see Modelled/total residues) with transmembrane (TMPC) and cytosolic part (CPC); in all cases, the flexible C and N termini remained unresolved. Structures were obtained without (apo) and with (holo) the natural ligand cAMP bound; in presence of the open-pore blocker (ivabradine) or potential modulators (propofol, cholesterol, and VX9). All proteins were isolated from non-polarized membranes (0 mV) and likewise solved without imposing voltage. In some cases (6UQF/6UQG; 8T50), prior to isolation, the S4 domain was fixed by metal cross-bridging in a down configuration mimicking the hyperpolarized-activated position. In most cases, the pore is in the closed state; for three cases (8T50; 7NP4; 8OFI), the pore is open and conductive (MD simulations).
