α-Conotoxin AuIB Isomers Exhibit Distinct Inhibitory Mechanisms and Differential Sensitivity to Stoichiometry of α3β4 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors*

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

In conclusion, the two isomers of AuIB differ in their inhibitory mechanisms such that AuIB(ribbon) inhibits only LS α3β4 nAChRs competitively, whereas Auib(globular) inhibits α3 β4 n aChRs irrespective of receptor stoichiometry, primarily by a non-competitive mechanism.
