Abstract excerpt
The human ether-à-go-go related gene product (HERG) channel is essential for electrical activity of heart cells, and block of this channel by many drugs leads to lethal arrhythmias. Tyr(652) and Phe(656) of the sixth transmembrane helix are candidates for the drug binding site. In the tetrameric...
