Article Synopsis
- Voltage-gated sodium channels are crucial for cell activities and are targeted by various drugs for conditions like epilepsy.
- Researchers designed a new type of ligand by combining a toxin that blocks sodium channels with another peptide that enhances their function, using innovative chemical methods to create a stronger connection between them.
- The resulting ligand showed improved effectiveness, being 4-24 times more potent and binding more tightly than existing solutions, demonstrating the potential of this new design approach in drug development.
