Abstract

A series of toxins isolated from the dinoflagellates, Gonyaulax spp., sheds new light on the structure of the receptors on excitable membranes. Biosynthetic origins of these toxins and tetrodotoxin, another sodium channel-specific marine toxin, are discussed. A new polyether type of toxin from the dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium breve, are also presented.
