Voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) initiate electrical signaling in excitable cells and are important drug targets.Bacterial Navs are an important model for the structure-function analysis of its more complex vertebrate counterpart.The X-ray structures of certain Bacterial Nays provide structural basis for the gating,ion selectivity and conductance.
