Summary

Based on the computational results, the H‐bond interactions between C4‐OH and C9‐OH of TTX and the outer ring carboxylates of the selectivity‐filter residues, and the cation–π interaction between the primary amine of guanidinium and Phe385 determine the difference of their binding affinities provide a valuable model to design potent and selective neurotoxins of Nav1.2‐TTX and shed light on the blocking mechanism
