Characterization of a cytotoxin‐like basic protein from the cobra (Naja naja naja) venom

View through CrossRef
A cytotoxin‐like basic protein has been isolated from the venom of the nominate race of cobra (Naja naja naja from Pakistan) by a single step of high‐performance liquid chromatography. The primary structure was determined and consists of 62 amino acid residues in a single polypeptide chain. It is highly similar to that of the cytotoxin‐like basic proteins isolated from other Naja species, but differs in two of the SS‐loop structures from that of cytotoxins.
