| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The assay systems were investigated for screening novel peptide toxins of sea anemone. The investigation of the ion channel-binding assay system with the use of surface plasmon resonance system (Biacore) was the new attempt. However, its utilization proved to be unable due to the difficulty of reducing nonspecific binding between its toxin and rat brain synaptosomes. On the other hand, the novel peptide toxins succeeded in being isolated from various sea anemones by investigating the assay system with the use of freshwater crabs. Furthermore, the mode of action of the novel peptide toxins which have been ever isolated succeeded in being clarified by the two-electrode voltage-clamp (TEVC).
