Structurally Diverse mu -Conotoxin PIIIA Isomers Block Sodium Channel Na sub(V)1.4
The one and only fold? Three chemically synthesized mu -conotoxin PIIIA isomers (see picture), which contain different disulfide connectivity, block the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel Na sub(V)1.4 with similar, yet distinguishable potency. Hence, bioactivity of this mu -conotoxin is no...

Zusammenfassung: | The one and only fold? Three chemically synthesized mu -conotoxin PIIIA isomers (see picture), which contain different disulfide connectivity, block the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel Na sub(V)1.4 with similar, yet distinguishable potency. Hence, bioactivity of this mu -conotoxin is not strictly coupled to its native fold. Future development of conotoxin-derived analgesics may benefit from such a widened structural repertoire. |
