Primary Sequence and 3D Structure Prediction of the Plant Toxin Stenodactylin
Stenodactylin is one of the most potent type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs); its high toxicity has been demonstrated in several models both in vitro and in vivo. Due to its peculiarities, stenodactylin could have several medical and biotechnological applications in neuroscience and cancer t...
