Structural Domains of the <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Vip3Af Protein Unraveled by Tryptic Digestion of Alanine Mutants

Vip3 proteins are increasingly used in insect control in transgenic crops. To shed light on the structure of these proteins, we used the approach of the trypsin fragmentation of mutants altering the conformation of the Vip3Af protein. From an alanine scanning of Vip3Af, we selected mutants with an a...
