Abstract excerpt

The biological properties of the Escherichia coli enterotoxin STIb (STA-3, STh) reside in a 13 amino acid C-terminal domain, abbreviated STIb(6-18). This tridecapeptide contains six cysteine residues involved in three intramolecular disulfide bridges. The solution structure of STIb(6-18) has been...
