Abstract excerpt
The critical role of hERG in the maintenance of normal cardiac electrical activity derives from its unusual gating properties: slow channel activation and fast inactivation. To characterize voltage sensor movement associated with slow activation and fast inactivation, we measured gating currents from wild-type and mutant hERG channels. Fast and slow gating components were observed that differed 100-fold in their...
