Electrostatic and Steric Contributions to Block of the Skeletal Muscle Sodium Channel by μ-Conotoxin
Pore-blocking toxins are valuable probes of ion channels that underlie electrical signaling. To be effective inhibitors, they must show high affinity and specificity and prevent ion conduction. The 22-residue sea snail peptide, μ-conotoxin GIIIA, blocks the skeletal muscle sodium channel completely....
