Abstract:activation resembles that of relaxed VSD-II. In addition, VSD-IV voltagedependent activation was not modified by nifedipine (control: V half = À39.7mV, z= 0.72e 0 , nifedipine: V half = À40.17mV, z= 0.62e 0 ). VSD-I is currently under investigation. Overall, we found that at least two VSDs are modified by nifedipine, suggesting that the binding of the drug to the pore region of the channel allosterically modifies these VSDs activation. Indeed, a recent CaV1.1 Cryo EM structure (Zhao et al., Cell 2019) shows t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
