Neurotoxic Peptides in the Multicomponent Venom of the Spider Cupiennius Salei Part I. Primary Structure of Neurotoxic Peptides in Relation to their Biological Function

Beside other components, spider venom contains neurotoxically acting peptides which predominantly target a variety of different ion channels within the spider's prey. From the multicomponent venom of Cupiennius salei 13 toxic peptides (CSTX-1 – CSTX-13) were purified by a combination...
