Marine Toxins Targeting Ion Channels

Marine Drugs, 2006
: This introductory minireview points out the importance of ion channels for cell communication. The basic concepts on the structure and function of ion channels triggered by membrane voltage changes, the so-called voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs), as ...

Computational Studies of Marine Toxins Targeting Ion Channels [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2013
Toxins from marine animals offer novel drug leads for treatment of diseases involving ion channels. Computational methods could be very helpful in this endeavour in several ways, e.g., (i) constructing accurate models of the channel-toxin complexes using

Biosynthesis of marine toxins [PDF]

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2020
Throughout history, humans have encountered natural toxic chemicals from the ocean environment, often through contaminated seafood. Although marine toxins can be harmful to human health and devastate local environments when they are produced during algal bloom events, they are also important biochemical research reagents and drug leads in medicine.

Saxitoxin Group Toxins Accumulation Induces Antioxidant Responses in Tissues of Mytilus chilensis, Ameghinomya antiqua, and Concholepas concholepas during a Bloom of Alexandrium pacificum

Antioxidants, 2022
Saxitoxin (STX) group toxins consist of a set of analogues which are produced by harmful algal blooms (HABs). During a HAB, filter-feeding marine organisms accumulate the dinoflagellates and concentrate the toxins in the tissues.
