KCNE1 induces fenestration in the Kv7.1/KCNE1 channel complex that allows for highly specific pharmacological targeting

KCNE1 induces fenestration in the Kv7.1/KCNE1 channel complex that allows for highly specific pharmacological targeting

Specificity of inhibitors of voltage-gated ion channels is crucial for their use as therapeutics. Here, the authors show that adamantane derivatives interact with a specific binding site on fenestrations that only become available when accessory subunits are bound to the channel.
