TY - JOUR TI - The scorpion toxin and the potassium channel AU - Swartz, Kenton J VL - 2 PY - 2013 DA - 2013/05/21 SP - e00873 C1 - eLife 2013;2:e00873 DO - 10.7554/eLife.00873 UR - https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00873 AB - The structure of a complex containing a toxin bound to a potassium ion channel has been solved for the first time, revealing how scorpions have designed toxins that can recognize and target the filter that controls the movement of potassium ions through these channels.
