Noncovalent interactions are essential for the existence of solid and liquid phases. 1, 2
Traditionally touted as weak forces, quantification of these interactions, which govern the …

α-Neurotoxins have been isolated from hydrophid, elapid and, more recently, colubrid snake
venoms. Also referred to as postsynaptic neurotoxins or 'curare mimetic'neurotoxins, they …

We determined the crystal structure of the extracellular domain of the mouse nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α1 subunit bound to α-bungarotoxin at 1.94 Å resolution …

The crystal structure of the snake long α‐neurotoxin, α‐cobratoxin, bound to the pentameric
acetylcholine‐binding protein (AChBP) from Lymnaea stagnalis, was solved from good …

Snake venom three-finger α-neurotoxins (α-3FNTx) act on postsynaptic nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) to produce skeletal …

Mutations in eat-2 and eat-18 cause the same defect in C. elegans feeding behavior: the
pharynx is unable to pump rapidly in the presence of food. EAT-2 is a nicotinic acetylcholine …

This review covers recent data on interactions of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR)
with snake venom proteins (α-and κ-neurotoxins,'weak'toxins recently shown to act on …

The peptide gp41659-671 (ELLELDKWASLWN) comprises the entire epitope for one of the
three known antibodies capable of neutralizing a broad spectrum of primary HIV-1 isolates …

The average life span steadily grows in humans and in animals kept as pets or left in
sanctuaries making the issue of elderly-associated cognitive impairment a hot-spot for …

The three-fingered toxin family and more precisely short-chain α-neurotoxins (also known as
Type I α-neurotoxins) are crucial in defining the elapid envenomation process, but …
