State-independent inhibition of the oncogenic Kv10.1 channel by desethylamiodarone, a comparison with amiodarone.

Kv10.1 is a voltage-dependent K channel whose ectopic expression is associated with several human cancers. Additionally, Kv10.

Conductance stability and Na+ interaction with Shab K+ channels under low K+ conditions.

K ions exert a structural effect that brings stability to K selective pores. Thus, upon bathing Shab channels in 0 K solutions the ion conductance, G, irreversibly collapses. Related to this, studies with isolated KcsA channels have suggested that there is a transition [K] around which the pore takes one of two conformations, either the low (non-conducting) or high K (conducting) crystal structures.

Dronedarone blockage of the tumor-related Kv10.1 channel: a comparison with amiodarone.

Kv10.1 (Eag1, or KCNH1) is a human potassium-selective channel associated with tumor development. In this work, we study the interaction of the drug dronedarone with Kv10.

Desensitization and Recovery of Crayfish Photoreceptors Upon Delivery of a Light Stimulus.

A method to study desensitization and recovery of crayfish photoreceptors is presented. We performed intracellular electrical recordings of photoreceptor cells in isolated eyestalks using the discontinuous single electrode-switched voltage-clamp configuration. First, with a razor blade we made an opening in the dorsal cornea to get access to the retina.
