Abstract excerpt
Notexin (Ntx) is a group I phospholipase A2 (PLA2) protein, main component of the Australian snake Notechis scutatus scutatus venom. It is both a presynaptic neurotoxin and a myotoxin. In this work, for the first time, a method for the production and folding of recombinant Ntx was developed. Ntx was produced with wild type sequence (rNtx), with an extra peptide (T7-Ntx) or a methionine (M-Ntx) before Asn-1, and...
