## Abstract Scorpion toxins are important physiological probes for characterizing ion channels. Molecular databases have limited functional annotation of scorpion toxins. Their function can be inferred by searching for conserved motifs in sequence signature databases that are derived statistically
The solution structure of the anti-mammal and anti-insect LqqIII toxin from the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus quinquestriatus was refined and compared with other long-chain scorpion toxins. This structure, determined by 1 H-NMR and molecular modeling, involves an a-helix (18-29) linked to a three
## Abstract ERG potassium channels specify one component of the delayed rectifier in the heart and are likely to play an important functional role in other excitable cells. Compared to other K^+^ channels, the human ERG (hERG) channel possesses an unusually long S5‐P linker that presumably forms an
