"BeKm-1 blockade of HERG varies inversely with temperature, time, voltage, use and frequency, and this has not been shown before for this or any other HERG blocking compound."

reach
"As summarized in Fig. 5 C, inhibition of hERG by BeKm-1 was higher at negative voltages and declined at more positive voltages."

reach
"However, as for BeKm-1, it is feasible that alternative conformational changes independent of inactivation could contribute to the rapid diminution of ergtoxin block upon depolarisation to +80 mV.Coll[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"Rapid superfusion of 25 nM BeKm-1 onto cells during depolarisation led to HERG blockade (~ 23 +/-1%, which is of similar magnitude to that seen at the end of depolarisations in Fig. 2F), suggesting th[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"Our focus here is BeKm-1, a HERG specific peptide toxin that can suppress HERG in the low nM concentration range."

reach
"BeKm-1 inhibited hERG1 channels with an IC (50) of 3.3 nm, but had no effect at 100 nm on hEAG, hSK1, rSK2, hIK, hBK, KCNQ1 and KCNE1, KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, KCNQ4 channels, and minimal effect on rELK1."

reach
"Examples include charybdotoxin (ChTX), which is targeted toward Kv1.3 and BKCa channels XREF_BIBR, scyllatoxin (ScyTx), which inhibits SKCa channels XREF_BIBR, maurotoxin (MTX), which is targeted toward IKCa channels XREF_BIBR, and BeKm-1, which inhibits Herg channels XREF_BIBR."

reach
"BeKm-1 does not totally suppress hERG currents : even in the presence of 1000 nM BeKm-1 (100-fold its IC 50) there remained some residual hERG current amounting to ~ 10% of the control amplitude (28)."

reach
"For WT BeKm-1 binding to the WT hERG channel, we have shown that the maximal degree of BeKm-1 suppression of WT hERG was ~ 90%, and the K d value estimated based on a single toxin concentration (10 nM[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"Previous data showed that the maximum degree of hERG current suppression by BeKm-1 was 90 +/- 1% (28)."

reach
"The effect of an intermediate concentration of BeKm-1 (5 nM) that does not fully block hERG channels was tested on AP of spontaneously beating hiPS-CMs (XREF_FIG A)."
