Orthosteric and/or Allosteric Binding of α-Conotoxins to Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Their Models

α-Conotoxins from Conus snails are capable of distinguishing muscle and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). α-Conotoxin RgIA and αO-conotoxin GeXIVA, blocking neuronal α9α10 nAChR, are potential analgesics. Typically, α-conotoxins bind to the orthosteric sites for agonists/competiti...
