A novel role of C-terminus in introducing a functionally flexible structure critical for the biological activity of botulinum neurotoxin

Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is responsible for botulism, a clinical condition resulting in flaccid muscle paralysis and potentially death. The light chain is responsible for its intracellular toxicity through its endopeptidase activity. Available crystal structures of BoNT/A light chains (LCA) are b...
