Q

2 changes due to binding of LA to binding site

A

occlusion

restriction of conformational change

  • AP generation is blocked (prevented channel opening)
  • AP conduction is blocked (prolonged refractory period)

Q

modulated receptor hypothesis

A

Low binding affinity at resting state

High binding affinity at:

  • intermediate closed state
  • open state
  • inactivated state: LA stabilizes channel in innactivated state, channel cannot be reopened even after repolarization
