Abstract

For every heartbeat, movement and thought, ion channels have to open and close, and thus, it is not surprising that malfunctioning of these membrane proteins leads to serious diseases.

Thus, the discovery of selective and state-dependent drugs is on the horizon, hopefully leading to effective novel medicines.:
