title: Mechanistic aspects of benzothiazepines: a class of antiarrhythmic drugs.
abstract: The authors have presented ab initio Hartree Fock calculations coupled with intermolecular interaction calculations to study mechanistic aspects of benzothiazepine class of calcium channel blockers. A channel model has been taken containing pore region glutamates and all three classes' sensing residues. Benzothiazepine drugs have been docked in and ternary complex (that is, drug ...Ca(2+)... channel model) stability has been studied and related to mechanistic aspects of these drugs.
