Abstract excerpt
Four peptide inhibitors of small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated, apamin-sensitive K(+) channels (SK(Ca)) have been isolated from the venom of the Chinese scorpion Buthus martensi, named BmP01, BmP02, BmP03, and BmP05, respectively [Romi-Lebrun, R. (1997) Eur. J. Biochem. 245, 457-464]. Among them BmP05 with 31 amino acid residues has been intensively studied due to its most potent toxicity. To investigate the...
