## Abstract α‐Conotoxins, from cone snails, and α‐neurotoxins, from snakes, are competitive inhibitors of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that have overlapping binding sites in the ACh binding pocket. These disulphide‐rich peptides are used extensively as tools to localize and pharmacolo
Standard two-electrode voltage-clamp techniques were used to investigate some of the pharmacological and functional properties of two types of rat neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes after pairwise injection of e3/74 or c~3/72 mRNAs. Currents of several gA amplitu
