From Crystal Structures of RgIA4 in Complex with <i>Ac</i>-AChBP to Molecular Determinants of Its High Potency of α9α10 nAChR

α9-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have been shown to play critical roles in neuropathic pain. The α-conotoxin (α-CTx) RgIA and its analog RgIA4 were identified as the most selective inhibitor of α9α10 nAChR. However, the mechanism of their selectivity toward α9α10 nAChR remain...
