Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A nanoparticle (NP)-peptide conjugate provides efficient steric hindrance/blockage of cellular membrane potassium (K + ) channels to mediate depolarization of cellular membrane potential.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of blocking potassium channels, comprising: providing a construct comprising a gold nanoparticle conjugated to a peptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 and a spacer sequence; and contacting mammalian cells with the construct, thereby blocking potassium channels on the mammalian cells. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peptide consists of SEQ ID NO: 3. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying heat to the nanoparticle, thus at least partially releasing the blockage of potassium channels.
