Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dysregulation of voltage-gated cardiac Na(+) channels (NaV1.5) by inherited mutations, disease-linked remodeling, and drugs causes arrhythmias. The molecular mechanisms whereby the NaV1.5 voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) are perturbed to pathologically or therapeutically modulate Na(+) current (INa) have not been specified. Our aim was to correlate INa kinetics with conformational changes within the 4...
