NMR studies of LqhαIT with a peptide derived from part of neurotoxin receptor site-3 (D4S3-S4) identified residues <scene name='1lqh/Nmr/1'>Lys8, Asn9, Cys12, Val13, Arg18, Trp38, Ala39 and Arg58</scene> of LqhαIT as participating in binding to that extra-cellular part of the sodium channel (3). | NMR studies of LqhαIT with a peptide derived from part of neurotoxin receptor site-3 (D4S3-S4) identified residues <scene name='1lqh/Nmr/1'>Lys8, Asn9, Cys12, Val13, Arg18, Trp38, Ala39 and Arg58</scene> of LqhαIT as participating in binding to that extra-cellular part of the sodium channel (3). | ||
Both methods led to the identification of two regions on the surface of LqhαIT that participate in binding of the toxin to neurotoxin receptor site-3 on sodium channels. | Both methods led to the identification of two regions on the surface of LqhαIT that participate in binding of the toxin to neurotoxin receptor site-3 on sodium channels. | ||
