Abstract excerpt
Insecticidal crystal proteins, or protoxins, of Bacillus thuringiensis are composed of two domains, an amino-terminal half essential for toxicity, and a carboxy-terminal half with an as yet unassigned function. To define the boundary of the two domains, sequential termination codons were introduc...
