Abstract
⺠Crystal structure of botulinum C-D mosaic neurotoxin at 1.56 Ã
resolution. ⺠BoNT/CD-HCR binds PE liposomes more tightly than BoNT/D-HCR. ⺠Lysine-1118 may enhance BoNT/CD-HCR synaptosome binding by stabilizing a putative membrane interaction loop. ⺠Binding of a sulfate ion to K1136 may reflect natural interactions of BoNT/CD-HCR with membrane phospholipids or glycolipids.
