Abstract excerpt
Local anesthetics (LAs) are compounds that inhibit the propagation of action potentials in excitable tissues by blocking voltage-gated Na+ channels. Mutagenesis studies have demonstrated that several amino acid residues are important sites of LA interaction with the channel, but these studies provide little information regarding the molecular forces that govern drug-binding interactions, including the binding...
