Binding of blockers to the human voltage-gated hERG potassium channel is studied using a combination of homology modelling, automated docking calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, where binding affinities are evaluated using the linear interaction energy method. A homology model was constructed based on the available crystal structure of the bacterial KvAP channel and the affinities of a series of sertindole analogues predicted using this model. The calculations reproduce the relative binding affinities of these compounds very well and indicate that both polar interactions near the intracellular opening of the selectivity filter as well as hydrophobic complementarity in the region around F656 are important for blocker binding. These results are consistent with recent alanine scanning mutation experiments on the blocking of the hERG channel by other compounds. (c) 2005 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
