Abstract excerpt
Aqueous exposure of critical residues in the selectivity region of voltage gated Na+ channels was studied by cysteine-scanning mutagenesis at three positions in each of the SS2 segments of domains III (D3) and IV (D4) of the human heart Na+ channel. Ionic currents were modified by charged cysteine-specific methanethiosulfonate (MTS) reagents, (2-aminoethyl)methanethiosulfonate (MTSEA+) and...
