Toxicity Prediction

• Torsades de Point: A dangerous side effect of drugs which commonly act at ion channels in the heart to cause arrythmia

• A common feature of many compounds is activity at the HERG channel (K+)

• Commonly, this is observed as an elongation of the so-called QT interval in an electrocardiogram of the heart (LQT)

• We have applied this methodology to the detection of molecules with TdP
