A Comprehensive Structural Analysis of Clostridium botulinum Neurotoxin A Cell-Binding Domain from Different Subtypes
18 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) cause flaccid neuromuscular paralysis by cleaving one of the SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex proteins. BoNTs display high affinity and specificity for neuromuscular junctions, making them one of the most potent neurotoxins known to date. There are seven serologically distinct BoNTs (serotypes BoNT/A to BoNT/G) which can be further...
