Function3S11_DENPO Binds to muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and inhibit acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby impairing neuromuscular transmission.[UniProtKB:P60775] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedSequence-specific assignments are presented for the polypeptide backbone protons and a majority of the amino-acid-side-chain protons of alpha-neurotoxin from Dendroaspis polylepis polylepis, and individual amide proton-exchange rates with the solvent are reported. The secondary structure and the hydrogen-bonding patterns in the regular secondary structure elements are deduced from nuclear Overhauser effects and the sequence locations of the slowly exchanging amide protons. The molecule includes a three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet, and there are indications that two additional short chain segments are arranged in an antiparallel beta-sheet. These structural elements are similar, but not identical, to either the secondary structure reported for erabutoxin b in single crystals, or the solution structure of cytotoxin CTXIIb from Naja mossambica mossambica.
