Drosophila nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits and their native interactions with insecticidal peptide toxins

Drosophila nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that represent a target for insecticides. Peptide neurotoxins are known to block nAChRs by binding to their target subunits, however, a better understanding of this mechanism is needed for effective insecticide desig...
