Chinese scorpion toxin structure F006 / 9482
Chinese scorpion toxin structure. Molecular model of the toxin BmBKTtx1, produced by the Chinese scorpion (Buthus martensi Karsch). It is a short-chain toxin that blocks calcium-activated potassium channels in the victims body. The Chinese scorpion is a widely distributed scorpion species in Asia, especially in Korea. Many toxins from the species have been isolated and they may prove a valuable resource for identifying potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Chinese scorpion toxin F006 / 9482. The venomous BmBKTtx1, produced by the Chinese scorpion (Buthus martensi Karsch), is depicted in this stunning illustration against a clean white background. This short-chain toxin possesses the remarkable ability to block calcium-activated potassium channels within its victims' bodies. The Chinese scorpion, widely distributed throughout Asia and particularly prevalent in Korea, has been extensively studied for its potent toxins. Scientists have isolated numerous toxins from this species, which hold immense potential in identifying novel anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. The detailed molecular model presented here offers valuable insights into the complex composition of this neurotoxin. Its alpha helix and beta sheet structures are clearly visible, contributing to its tertiary structure. With cut-out techniques employed for medical illustration purposes, viewers can appreciate the intricate biochemical makeup of this protein molecule. This artwork not only highlights the beauty of nature's creations but also underscores its significance in healthcare and research fields such as proteomics and biochemistry. By exploring these fascinating molecules derived from the Chinese scorpion venom, scientists hope to unlock new avenues for developing therapeutic interventions that could alleviate pain and inflammation effectively.
