Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that lysine substitutions at two residues in segment 6 of domain 3 in voltage-gated Na(+) channel rNav1.4 (S1276K, L1280K) reduced steady-state inactivated local anesthetic block. Here we studied cysteine substitutions at the same residues (S1276C, L1280C). We used whole-cell recordings to determine local anesthetic block (100 microM bupivacaine) before and after cysteine modification with...
