The Composite Physical and Chemical Approach to the Solution Spatial Structure of Polypeptide Neurotoxins

  • Chapter

Abstract

The crucial details for the interpretation of spatial structures and intermolecular interactions of peptides and proteins could be revealed by proper combination of physical and chemical techniques. The paper presents the results of the combined approach for the evaluation of the conformation in solution of honey-bee venom component apamin (18 membered polypeptide), of three dimensional structure of Central Asian cobra neurotoxin II (61 amino acid residues), and of the topography of its binding site with acetylcholine receptor Torpedo Marmorata.
