International audienceSnakes and cone snails produce toxins which block muscular and/or neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs). This paper mostly focuses on the determinants by which a snake long chain curaremimetic toxin and the cone snail toxin ImI bind specifically to the alpha 7 neuronal receptor. In both cases, the site involves a small turn-like structure constrained by two half-cystines.Les serpents et les cônes marins produisent des toxines qui bloquent les récepteurs cholinergiques nicotinique (AChRs) musculaires et/ou neuronaux. Nous avons identifié les déterminants majeurs par lesquels une toxine longue curarisante de serpents et la toxine de cônes ImI, reconnaissent le récepteur neuronal α7. Dans les deux cas, le sit...
