Rigidity of loop 1 contributes to equipotency of globular and ribbon isomers of α-conotoxin AusIA

Abstract α-Conotoxins are small disulfide-rich peptides targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) characterised by a CICII-Xm-CIII-Xn-CIV framework that invariably adopt the native globular conformations which is typically most potent. α-Conotoxins are divided into several structural subg...
