Ztz240 activates KCNQ2. 5 / 5
| 1 4

eidos
"Here , we report cryo-electron microscopy ( cryo-EM ) structures of the human KCNQ2 determined in apo state and in complex with two activators , ztz240 or retigabine , which activate KCNQ2 through different mechanisms ."

reach
"We found that, without any adjustment of parameters produced by fitting the concentration response data of ztz240 potentiating the WT KCNQ2 channel, the concentration response curve of ztz240 activating the WT-F137A heteromeric channel predicted by our statistical thermodynamic model is in good agreement with the experimental data determined here in parallel."

reach
"In the present study, we have demonstrated that our model provides an excellent fit to the concentration response data of ztz240 activating the KCNQ2 channel; the fitting result is much better than the fit by the widely used Hill equation."

reach
"Before that, we obtained a set of concentration response data for ztz240 potentiating KCNQ2 by determining the outward current (I/I 0 values) at different concentrations of ztz240."

reach
"Ztz240, another KCNQ activator that is distinct from retigabine and ZnPy, potentiates KCNQ2 and KCNQ4 but does not affect KCNQ1 and KCNQ3."
