[Webinar]Venom Peptides: Rethinking Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Inhibition

Date: Friday, May 22, 2020 | Time: 10am EDT / 3pm BST / 4pm CEST / 한국시간 5/22 11:00PM

The voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) subtype Nav1.7 has been genetically validated to be involved in nociception. Join this free webinar to discover how engineering peptides achieves subtype specificity and complete inhibition of specific sodium channels to unlock the potential of potent venom peptides as therapeutic leads for the treatment of pain

Topics in this presentation include:

• Peptide inhibitors derived from venomous toxins
• The mechanism of action behind venom peptide inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels
• How engineering peptides achieves subtype specificity and complete inhibition of specific sodium channels
