Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIn Silico Characterization and Motif Election of Neurotoxins from Snake VenomMahmudul Hasan, Ziaul Faruque Joy, Elius Hossain Bhuiyan, Md Shiful IslamSnake venom is a mixture of many biological components. Snakes usually use their venomic armory to tackle different prey and predators in adverse natural world. Among various components of the snake venom, neurotoxins play an important role in exerting effect by blocking the neuromuscular transmission through selective binding to muscle nicotinic Acetyl-Choline Receptors (nAChR). A set of 30 reference protein … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 Mar 2015 · 7,702 accessesView PDFCite
