Ion selectivity of scorpion toxin-induced pores in cardiac myocytes

The lytic activity of parabutoporin (PP) and opistoporin 1 (OP1) on mammalian and bacterial membranes have been described. We investigated pore-formation and ion selectivity in cardiac myocytes by measuring the whole cell leak current by means of the patch clamp technique. Pore formation was observe...
