Popis: Dendrotoxin, a 59 residue peptide toxin was synthesized using an Fmoc-tBu strategy and folded to the biologically active form . Synthetic dendrotoxin co-eluted with the natural toxin by RP-HPLC, and inhibited [125]-dendrotoxin I binding to rat brain synaptosomes with an IC50=20 nM which was comparable to the natural toxin .
