Discovery opens possibility of new ion channel-targeting drugs

Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers have discovered that ion channels called BK channels have unique openings in their sides, which drug molecules may be able to access. The finding could lead to the development of selective drugs that target the BK channel to treat a wide range of diseases.
