Molecular Mechanism by Which Cobra Venom Cardiotoxins Interact with the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane

Cardiotoxin CTII from <i>Naja oxiana</i> cobra venom translocates to the intermembrane space (IMS) of mitochondria to disrupt the structure and function of the inner mitochondrial membrane. At low concentrations, CTII facilitates ATP-synthase activity, presumably via the formation of non...
