Abstract
Racetam anticonvulsants, such as levetiracetam, are widely prescribed to treat and prevent seizures. Despite decades of clinical use, their mechanism of action remains unclear. Two studies now reveal the structure of the racetam-binding protein SV2A in complex with anticonvulsant drugs, providing insights into their mechanism of action and the physiology of neurotransmission.
