Structural insights into SV2A and the mechanism of racetam anticonvulsants
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.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
