title: Amino acid sequences of neurotoxins I and III of the elapidae snake Naja mossambica massambica.
abstract: The amino acid sequences of two neurotoxins of the African cobra Naja mossambica mossambica have been determined using almost uniquely phenylisothiocyanate degradation in a liquid protein sequencer programmed alternatively with 'protein' and 'peptide' programs. When compared to known sequences of so-called 'short' neurotoxins belonging to other Elapidae snakes, neurotoxins I and III of Naja mossambica mossambica are very similar to the cobrotoxin, a neurotoxin isolated from the formosan cobra Naja atra atra.
