High-resolution crystal structure of the Mu8.1 conotoxin from Conus mucronatus
The crystal structure of the Mu8.1 conotoxin was determined in the high-symmetry space group I4122 at 1.67 Å resolution. This crystal structure reveals a surface-exposed Zn2+-binding site and establishes a hydrogen-bonding network around Lys55 buried at the dimer interface.
