## Abstract Three scorpion toxins have been analyzed by circular dichroism in water and in 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFE) solutions. These toxins were chosen because they are representative of three kinds of pharmacological activities: (1) toxin AaH IT2, an antiinsect toxin purified from the venom of
The solution structure of a synthetic peptide, Cn2(1-15)NH 2 -S-S-acetyl-Cn2(52-66)NH 2 from toxin 2 (Cn2) of the New World scorpion Centruroides noxius was determined using nmr and molecular dynamics calculations. The peptide has no significant secondary structure such as an ␣-helix or a -sheet, y
