Computational determination of hERG-related cardiotoxicity of drug candidates

Abstract Background Drug candidates often cause an unwanted blockage of the potassium ion channel of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG). The blockage leads to long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is a severe life-threatening cardiac side effect. Therefore, a virtual screening method to predict dr...
