Abstract

This unit provides an introduction to the binding of specific ligands to K⁺ channels that are expressed in a number of different preparations. The assays described can be used for screening a large number of compounds for interaction at specific binding sites and provides, in selected cases, details of expected results for unlabeled ligands that are known to bind to certain K⁺ channels.
