Ion Conduction through the hERG Potassium Channel

The inward rectifier voltage-gated potassium channel hERG is of primary importance for the regulation of the membrane potential of cardiomyocytes. Unlike most voltage-gated K+-channels, hERG shows a low elementary conductance at physiological voltage and potassium concentration. To investigate the m...
