Old dog, new trick: Charybdotoxin as a novel ryanodine receptor blocker
Abstract figure legend The peptide toxin charybdotoxin (ChTx) from the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus was tested on single‐channel currents of the ryanodine receptor incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The structure–function relationship of ChTx was investigated using toxin variants generated by isosteric substitutions of the basic amino acids ...

ABSTRACT Background Epidural analgesia is commonly used for pain control after major lower‐limb orthopedic surgery in children, but it is associated with a risk of postoperative urinary retention. Consequently, urinary catheters are often placed and left in situ for the full duration of epidural analgesia, despite the potential risks of prolonged ...
