Orthosteric and/or Allosteric Binding of α-Conotoxins to Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Their Models

Orthosteric and/or Allosteric Binding of α-Conotoxins to Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Their Models

&#945;-Conotoxins from <i>Conus</i> snails are capable of distinguishing muscle and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). &#945;-Conotoxin RgIA and &#945;O-conotoxin GeXIVA, blocking neuronal &#945;9&#945;10 nAChR, are potential analgesics. Typically, &...
