Abstract excerpt
The seven functionally distinct serotypes (A-G) of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) are dichains consisting of light chain (LC) with zinc-dependent endoprotease activity connected by one disulfide bond to heavy chain with neuronal-cell translocation and receptor-binding domains. LC-mediated proteolysis of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins and consequent inhibition...
