Figure 2

AahII: classical scorpion α-toxin (mammalian-selective). Indicated are important residues for structure/function.

BmKM1: scorpion α-like toxin (active on both mammals and insects). Indicated are three important regions for function as defined by Liu et al. (Liu et al., 2005).

LqhαIT: scorpion insect α-toxin (insect-selective). Indicated are three important regions for function as defined by Karbat et al. (Karbat et al., 2004).
