Abstract

Targeting sodium channels: Voltage-gated sodium (Na v ) channels have been implicated in cardiac and neurological disorders. There are many subtypes of these channels, making it challenging to develop specific therapeutics. A core α subunit is sufficient for voltage sensing and ion conductance, but function is modulated by β subunits and by natural toxins that can either act as pore blockers or gating modifiers (see the Perspective by Chowdhury and Chanda). Shen et al. present the structures of Na v 1.7 in complex with both β1 and β2 subunits and with animal toxins. Pan et al. present the structure of Na v 1.2 bound to β2 and a toxic peptide, the µ-conotoxin KIIIA. The structure shows why KIIIA is specific for Na v 1.2. These and other recently determined Na v structures provide a framework for targeted drug development. Science , this issue p. 1303 , p. 1309 ; see also p. 1278

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
