The crystal structure of Cry78Aa from Bacillus thuringiensis provides insights into its insecticidal activity
The crystal structure of the Bacillus thuringiensis protein Cry78Aa shows it consists of a C-terminal β-pore forming domain and an N-terminal trefoil domain and suggests a mechanism underlying the function of Cry78Aa against rice planthoppers.
