Effects of C-Terminal Carboxylation on α-Conotoxin LsIA Interactions with Human α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor: Molecular Simulation Studies
α-Conotoxins selectively bind to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are therapeutic targets due to their important role in signaling transmission in excitable cells. A previous experimental study has demonstrated that carboxylation of the C-terminal of α-conotoxin LsIA reduces its pot...
