Abstract excerpt

One advantage of using the Cry proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis as pesticides is their relatively narrow spectrum of activity, thus reducing the risk of non-target effects. Understanding the molecular basis of specificity has the potential to help us design improved products against emerging pests, or against pests that have developed resistance to other Cry proteins. Many previous studies have associated...
