Synthesis and Characterization of Cry2Ab–AVM Bioconjugate: Enhanced Affinity to Binding Proteins and Insecticidal Activity

<i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> insecticidal proteins (Bt toxins) have been widely used in crops for agricultural pest management and to reduce the use of chemical insecticides. Here, we have engineered Bt toxin Cry2Ab30 and bioconjugated it with 4&#8221;-O-succinyl avermectin (AVM) to...
