Title Structure/function characterization of μ-Conotoxin KIIIA, an analgesic, nearly irreversible blocker of mammalian neuronal sodium channels
Date 2007
Description Peptide neurotoxins from cone snails continue to supply compounds with therapeutic potential. Although several analgesic conotoxins have already reached human clinical trials, a continuing need exists for the discovery and development of novel nonopioid analgesics, such as subtype-selective sodium channel blockers.
