Status of Asp29 and Asp40 in the Interaction of <i>Naja atra</i> Cardiotoxins with Lipid Bilayers

Status of Asp29 and Asp40 in the Interaction of <i>Naja atra</i> Cardiotoxins with Lipid Bilayers

It is widely accepted that snake venom cardiotoxins (CTXs) target the plasma membranes of cells. In the present study, we investigated the role of Asp residues in the interaction of <i>Naja atra</i> cardiotoxin 1 (CTX1) and cardiotoxin 3 (CTX3) with phospholipid bilayers using chemical m...
