Some of the other conserved regions consist of β-meanders with unusually long β-strands.
5 Å. We have chosen the name "molegos" for the structural units associated with motifs, which are presented pictorially in Figures 2and 3. Most of the DNA and metal ion binding molegos form individual β-strands at the core of the protein that orient the absolutely conserved residues toward the substrate, but several have a helical or hydrogen bonded coil structure.
have suggested that the highly conserved nature of the glycine in this region may indicate the existence of a loop structure consisting of either γ or a loose three residue-turn in the nAChR [ 12 ] . Either of these turns would bring the two putative β-strands together such that γL109, γY111 and γS115 and γY117 are all on the same side of an antiparallel β-sheet.
These include hydrophobic residues in the β-strands, a conserved proline after strand 2, a small (typically, glycine) and polar (typically, aspartate) residues before strand 3, small residues that typically mark the boundaries of secondary structure elements and several charged and polar residues (Fig.
A structure model of ButaIT, generated from the Swiss-model protein modeling server based on the structural coordinates of chlorotoxin [ 38 ] and insectotoxin I5A [ 22 ] showed that ButaIT adopts a typical core structure of scorpion toxins primarily composed of one α-helix and three β-strands with four disulfide bridges, a feature similar to other toxins of similar size that act on K +and Cl -channels [ 17 31 34 38 ] . It is also evident from the data that disulfide bridge formation in ButaIT likely follows a common motif, with covalent links between cysl6-cys32, cys5-cys27, cys20-cys34 and an additional disulfide bridge between cys2 and cys 19 which cross-links the N-terminal strand of the β-sheet to the α-helix.
