The amino acid code of proteins in the small basic polypeptide myotoxin family, which includes crotamine, have been sequenced.
2.
The untranslated regions for 5 and 3 between the sample and the myotoxin a cDNA was 60 % and 80 %, respectively.
3.
In the comparison, exon coding regions including the mature myotoxin and the signal peptide were 98 % and 100 % similar, respectively.
4.
A crotamine amino acid sequence was compared to that of cloned DNA of myotoxin a, ( the myotoxin used to model how SBPMs work ).
5.
A crotamine amino acid sequence was compared to that of cloned DNA of myotoxin a, ( the myotoxin used to model how SBPMs work ).
6.
The first myotoxin to be identified and isolated was crotamine, from the venom of " Crotalus durissus terrificus ", a tropical South American rattlesnake, by Brazilian scientist Jos?Moura Gon�alves, in the 1950s.
