Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Verapamil blocks current through the voltage-gated K(+) channel K(v)1.3 in the open and inactivated state of the channel but not the closed state. The binding site for verapamil was proposed to be close to the selectivity filter and the occupancy of the selectivity filter might therefore influence verapamil affinity. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We investigated the influence of intra- and...
