The secondary structure of the S1 domain in HCN1 channels is alpha-helical and profoundly affects the motion of the voltage sensor, with specific residues critical for normal channel closure.

These preclinical HCN1 findings should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for voltage sensor mechanisms in cardiac pacemaking.
