Abstract excerpt
The molecular determinants of high-affinity human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) potassium channel blockade by methanesulfonanilides include two aromatic residues (Phe656 and Tyr652) on the inner helices (S6) and residues on the pore helices that face into the inner cavity, but determinants for lower-affinity HERG blockers may be different. In this study, alanine-substituted HERG channel mutants of inner...
