µ-conotoxin CnIIIC is a conopeptide that has been isolated from the venom of the marine cone snail Conus consors. µ-conotoxin CnIIIC exhibits a myorelaxing effect through specific blockade of the skeletal muscle Nav1.4 channels (IC50 = 1.4 nM). µ-conotoxin CnIIIC also blocks Nav1.2 channels (1 µM) and mildly Nav1.7. In contrast, Nav1.5 and Nav1.8 are insensitive to the action of the toxin. µ-conotoxin CnIIIC also blocks the α3β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (IC50= 450 nM) and to lesser extents the α7 and α4β2 subtypes. µ-conotoxin CnIIIC completely inhibits twitch tension in isolated mouse hemidiaphragms (IC50 = 150 nM).

Reference:
A novel µ-conopeptide, CnIIIC, exerts potent and preferential inhibition of NaV1.2/1.4 channels and blocks neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
The µ-conopeptide family is defined by its ability to block voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), a property that can be used for the development of myorelaxants and analgesics. We characterized the pharmacology of a new µ-conopeptide (µ-CnIIIC) on a range of preparations and molecular targets to assess its potential as a myorelaxant.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:
µ-CnIIIC was sequenced, synthesized and characterized by its direct block of elicited twitch tension in mouse skeletal muscle and action potentials in mouse sciatic and pike olfactory nerves. µ-CnIIIC was also studied on HEK-293 cells expressing various rodent VGSCs and also on voltage-gated potassium channels and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) to assess cross-interactions. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were carried out for structural data.
KEY RESULTS:
Synthetic µ-CnIIIC decreased twitch tension in mouse hemidiaphragms (IC(50) = 150 nM), and displayed a higher blocking effect in mouse extensor digitorum longus muscles (IC = 46 nM), compared with µ-SIIIA, µ-SmIIIA and µ-PIIIA. µ-CnIIIC blocked Na(V)1.4 (IC(50) = 1.3 nM) and Na(V)1.2 channels in a long-lasting manner. Cardiac Na(V)1.5 and DRG-specific Na(V)1.8 channels were not blocked at 1 µM. µ-CnIIIC also blocked the α3β2 nAChR subtype (IC(50) = 450 nM) and, to a lesser extent, on the α7 and α4β2 subtypes. Structure determination of µ-CnIIIC revealed some similarities to α-conotoxins acting on nAChRs.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS:
µ-CnIIIC potently blocked VGSCs in skeletal muscle and nerve, and hence is applicable to myorelaxation. Its atypical pharmacological profile suggests some common structural features between VGSCs and nAChR channels.

Mechanism and molecular basis for the sodium channel subtype specificity of µ-conopeptide CnIIIC.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Voltage-gated sodium channels (Na(V) channels) are key players in the generation and propagation of action potentials, and selective blockade of these channels is a promising strategy for clinically useful suppression of electrical activity. The conotoxin µ-CnIIIC from the cone snail Conus consors exhibits myorelaxing activity in rodents through specific blockade of skeletal muscle (Na(V) 1.4) Na(V) channels.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:
We investigated the activity of µ-CnIIIC on human Na(V) channels and characterized its inhibitory mechanism, as well as the molecular basis, for its channel specificity.
KEY RESULTS:
Similar to rat paralogs, human Na(V) 1.4 and Na(V) 1.2 were potently blocked by µ-CnIIIC, the sensitivity of Na(V) 1.7 was intermediate, and Na(V) 1.5 and Na(V) 1.8 were insensitive. Half-channel chimeras revealed that determinants for the insensitivity of Na(V) 1.8 must reside in both the first and second halves of the channel, while those for Na(V) 1.5 are restricted to domains I and II. Furthermore, domain I pore loop affected the total block and therefore harbours the major determinants for the subtype specificity. Domain II pore loop only affected the kinetics of toxin binding and dissociation. Blockade by µ-CnIIIC of Na(V) 1.4 was virtually irreversible but left a residual current of about 5%, reflecting a ‘leaky’ block; therefore, Na(+) ions still passed through µ-CnIIIC-occupied Na(V) 1.4 to some extent. TTX was excluded from this binding site but was trapped inside the pore by µ-CnIIIC.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS:
Of clinical significance, µ-CnIIIC is a potent and persistent blocker of human skeletal muscle Na(V) 1.4 that does not affect activity of cardiac Na(V) 1.5.

常用流动相加酸碱后PH的总结，希望大家能够提供一点自己测过的结果，谢谢先
1.直接用固体磷酸钠配制成50mM的磷酸钠溶液，再调pH到7.4；（我们试着用这个做了下，发现挂不上柱）
2.配置磷酸钠盐缓冲液：按NaH2PO4：Na2HPO4以19：81的摩尔比配制成pH7.4的缓冲液？（附一张百度出来的配方
）
3.如果是磷酸钠盐缓冲液，可以直接将50mM的NaH2PO4的水溶液用NaOH调成pH7.4吗？
再者，2和3这两个方法配制的磷酸钠盐缓冲液有什么区别？最终效果是一样的吗？如果不一样，有什么理论的知识支撑呢？个人感觉是分析化学中酸碱理论中的缓冲液那里的知识。求帮忙解答这些疑问。
另外，我还想问一下，pH对于Ni柱对His-tagged的蛋白的分离纯化影响大吗？是怎么影响的？谢谢大家了！
有了源数据之后把源数据按照大小排列，
选中源数据区域-->ALT+A1-->选中图标区右键-->更改图表类型-->散点图
因为是考察不同PH对药物的影响，样品又不好改变其PH值，这种情况怎么办？希望有经验的高手指教。
我的流动相是甲醇-水（90：10）
谢谢赐教！
请进子版按格式发贴，自行修改，谢谢。
由弱酸及其盐、弱碱及其盐组成的混合溶液，能在一定程度上抵消、减轻外加强酸或强碱对溶液酸碱度的影响，从而保持溶液的pH值相对稳定。这种溶液称为缓冲溶液。

我在做一细菌不同酸碱度生长状况时,发现这些奇怪现象:pH=3的培养基灭菌(TSB液体培养基)灭菌后pH上升到到9.2!而原来pH=9.0的降到8.7(基本没多少变化),请问各位大侠,这是什么原因?
一般做不同酸碱度生长实验时,该如何才能防止pH在湿热灭菌后基本不变化?
是否可以理解为纯化水得PH范围为6.3-7.6？能否直接用pH计测量？谢谢!
