title: Amino acid sequence of a short chain neurotoxin from the venom of banded krait (Bungarus fasciatus).
abstract: The amino acid sequence of a short chain neurotoxin obtained from Bungarus fasciatus venom consists of 64 amino acid residues: Arg-Ile-Cys-Leu-Asn-Gln-Gln-Gln-Ser- Thr-Pro-Glu-Asp-Gln-Pro-Thr-Asn-Gly-Gln-Cys-Tyr-Ile-Lys-Thr-Asp-Cys-Gln- Asn-Lys - Thr-Trp-Asn-Thr-His-Arg-Gly-Ser-Arg-Thr-Asp-Arg-Gly-Cys-Gly-Cys-Pro-Lys- Val-Lys - Pro-Gly-Ile-Asn-Leu-Arg-Cys-Cys-Lys-Thr-Asp-Lys-Cys-Asn-Glu. The above result was obtained primarily from the amino acid analyses and sequencing of tryptic peptides accompanied with the necessary analyses and sequencing of the chymotryptic and lysyl endopeptidic peptides for alignment.
