Molecular Determinants of Brevetoxin Binding to Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Brevetoxins are produced by dinoflagellates such as <i>Karenia brevis</i> in warm-water red tides and cause neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. They bind to voltage-gated sodium channels at neurotoxin receptor 5, making the channels more active by shifting the voltage-dependence of activatio...
