Abstract excerpt

Three bioactivity-variant neurotoxins, BmK M1, M4 and M8, have been purified from Chinese scorpion BmK venom. They possess distinct toxic activities against mice in vivo. These proteins also have different electrostatic properties. The relative toxicities for BmK M1, M4 and M8 are 13.3:2.5:1 which, surprisingly, correspond to their respective pI values ranging from basic to acidic 9.01, 7.53 and 5.30,...
