Novel Three-Finger Neurotoxins from <i>Naja melanoleuca</i> Cobra Venom Interact with GABA<sub>A</sub> and Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Novel Three-Finger Neurotoxins from <i>Naja melanoleuca</i> Cobra Venom Interact with GABA<sub>A</sub> and Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Cobra venoms contain three-finger toxins (TFT) including α-neurotoxins efficiently binding nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). As shown recently, several TFTs block GABA<sub>A</sub> receptors (GABA<sub>A</sub>Rs) with different efficacy, an important role of the TFTs...
