High affinity binding of alpha-bungarotoxin to the purified alpha-subunit and to its 27,000-dalton proteolytic peptide from Torpedo marmorata acetylcholine receptor. Requirement for sodium dodecyl sulfate.

Intact nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) tightly binds alpha-bungarotoxin. The two toxin-binding sites are presumed to be on the two alpha-subunits, either on or near the ACh-binding sites. Isolated alpha-subunits have been found to maintain weak binding to alpha-bungarotoxin (KD approximately...
