Abstract excerpt
Nature has provided potent insecticidal toxins as fermentation products of many Bacillus thuringiensis strains. Elucidation of structure-function relationships for this class of natural toxins is in its early stages. Both direct experimentation and application of theoretical structure-function principles emerging from the rapidly growing field of protein structure are accelerating understanding of these toxins....
