Abstract excerpt
Elucidating structural determinants in the functional regions of toxins can provide useful knowledge for designing novel analgesic peptides. Glycine residues at the C-terminal region of the neurotoxin BmK AGP-SYPU2 from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch (BmK) have been shown to be crucial to its analgesic activity. However, there has been no research on the structure-function relationship between the...
