Topological Regulation of the Bioactive Conformation of a Disulfide-Rich Peptide, Heat-Stable Enterotoxin

Topological Regulation of the Bioactive Conformation of a Disulfide-Rich Peptide, Heat-Stable Enterotoxin

Heat-stable enterotoxin (ST<sub>a</sub>) produced by enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli</i> causes acute diarrhea and also can be used as a specific probe for colorectal cancer cells. ST<sub>a</sub> contains three intra-molecular disulfide bonds (C1–C4, C2–C5, and C3–C6 c...
