Abstract excerpt
Snake curaremimetic toxins are short all-beta proteins, containing several disulfide bonds which largely contribute to their stability. The four disulfides present in snake toxins make a "disulfide beta-cross"-fold that was suggested to be a good protein folding template. Previous studies on the refolding of snake toxins (Ménez, A. et al. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 4166-4172) showed that this set of natural...
