THE HC FRAGMENT OF TETANUS TOXIN COMPLEXED WITH GALACTOSE
|
OverviewOverview
The entry of tetanus neurotoxin into neuronal cells proceeds through the, initial binding of the toxin to gangliosides on the cell surface. The, carboxyl-terminal fragment of the heavy chain of tetanus neurotoxin, contains the ganglioside-binding site, which has not yet been fully, characterized. The crystal structures of native H(C) and of H(C) soaked, with carbohydrates reveal a number of binding sites and provide insight, into the possible mode of ganglioside binding.
