Modeling the Interactions Between Sodium Channels Provides Insight Into the Negative Dominance of Certain Channel Mutations

BACKGROUND: Na(v)1.5 cardiac Na(+) channel mutations can cause arrhythmogenic syndromes. Some of these mutations exert a dominant negative effect on wild-type channels. Recent studies showed that Na(+) channels can dimerize, allowing coupled gating. This leads to the hypothesis that allosteric inter...
