Computational design of peptides to target Na(V)1.7 channel with high potency and selectivity for the treatment of pain

The voltage-gated sodium Na(V)1.7 channel plays a key role as a mediator of action potential propagation in C-fiber nociceptors and is an established molecular target for pain therapy. ProTx-II is a potent and moderately selective peptide toxin from tarantula venom that inhibits human Na(V)1.7 activ...
