Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) potassium channels constitute a potential target involved in cardiotoxic side effects of amino-amide local anesthetics. The molecular interaction site of these low-affinity blockers with HERG channels is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the mutations Y652A and F656A in the putative drug binding region of HERG on the...
