Importance of modelling hERG binding in predicting drug-induced action potential prolongations for drug safety assessment
Reduction of the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) via drug binding to the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene (hERG) channel is a well recognised mechanism that can contribute to an increased risk of Torsades de Pointes. Mathematical models have been created to replicate the effects of c...
