A Novel Lid-Covering Peptide Inhibitor of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Derived from αD-Conotoxin GeXXA
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) play a fundamental role in nervous signal transmission, therefore various antagonists and agonists are highly desired to explore the structure and function of nAChRs. Recently, a novel dimeric αD-conotoxin GeXXA was identified to inhibit nAChRs by binding a...
