Potency-Enhancing Mutations of Gating Modifier Toxins for the Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Na(V)1.7 Can Be Predicted Using Accurate Free-Energy Calculations

Gating modifier toxins (GMTs) isolated from venomous organisms such as Protoxin-II (ProTx-II) and Huwentoxin-IV (HwTx-IV) that inhibit the voltage-gated sodium channel Na(V)1.7 by binding to its voltage-sensing domain II (VSDII) have been extensively investigated as non-opioid analgesics. However, r...
