Abstract excerpt
The KCNA5 gene provides the code for the α-subunit of the potassium channel Kv1.5. The genetic variant H463R in the Kv1.5 channel has been reported to cause a functional loss in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Understanding the mutations at a molecular level is key to developing improved therapeutics concerning cardiac hKv1.5 and hKv1.4 channels. Molecular dynamics and umbrella sampling free energy simulations...
