[[Bungarotoxin|Bungarotoxins]]. α-Bungarotoxin (α-BGT),  β-Bungarotoxin (β-BGT), γ-Bungarotoxin (γ-BGT) and κ-Bungarotoxin (κ-BGT) are snake toxins from banded krait.  α-BGT  binds irreversibly to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) causing paralysis and death. β-BGT  binds  to the presynaptic terminal causing release of acetylcholine. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Bungarotoxin , ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of α-Bungarotoxin ([[2abx]]).
