Structural basis for voltage-sensor trapping of the cardiac sodium channel by a deathstalker scorpion toxin

Voltage-gated sodium (Na(V)) channels initiate action potentials in excitable cells, and their function is altered by potent gating-modifier toxins. The α-toxin LqhIII from the deathstalker scorpion inhibits fast inactivation of cardiac Na(V)1.5 channels with IC(50) = 11.4 nM. Here we reveal the str...
