Conotoxins as Sensors of Local pH and Electrostatic Potential in the Outer Vestibule of the Sodium Channel

We examined the block of voltage-dependent rat skeletal muscle sodium channels by derivatives of μ-conotoxin GIIIA (μCTX) having either histidine, glutamate, or alanine residues substituted for arginine-13. Toxin binding and dissociation were observed as current fluctuations from single, batrachotox...
