In Silico Analysis of the Subtype Selective Blockage of KCNA Ion Channels through the µ-Conotoxins PIIIA, SIIIA, and GIIIA
Understanding subtype specific ion channel pore blockage by natural peptide-based toxins is crucial for developing such compounds into promising drug candidates. Herein, docking and molecular dynamics simulations were employed in order to understand the dynamics and binding states of the µ...
