Brief description This project aims to understand how certain animal toxins that cause analgesic and pesticidal effects in model animals interact with biological ion channels in atomistic detail using computational techniques. By understanding the detailed molecular interactions involved in the binding of the toxins to channels, toxin variants with improved potency and specificity may be designed as promising templates for novel analgesics and pesticides.
