Covalent labeling of the tetrodotoxin receptor in excitable membranes
RJ Guillory,
MD Rayner,
and
JS D'Arrigo
A photoaffinity labeling technique is described by which a tetrodotoxin analog is covalently bound to receptor sites associated with the sodium pores of excitable membranes. The biological activity of the toxin analog is retained after the covalent binding reaction.
