Interactions between amiodarone and the hERG potassium channel pore determined with mutagenesis and in silico docking

The antiarrhythmic drug amiodarone delays cardiac repolarisation through inhibition of hERG-encoded potassium channels responsible for the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current (I(Kr)). This study aimed to elucidate molecular determinants of amiodarone binding to the hERG channel. Whole-cell pat...
