Capacity of antibodies to synthetic peptides of α-bungarotoxin for recognizing conformational sections of the neurotoxin molecule

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The capacity of antibodies to various synthetic peptides of α-bungarotoxin for binding peptides of the neurotoxin and recognizing the corresponding regions of the α-bungarotoxin molecule has been investigated. It has been established that individual conformational sections of the α-bungarotoxin molecule are specifically recognized by antibodies to synthetic epitopes of the neurotoxin.
