Introduction
B. Dendrophila monomeric toxin (Denmotoxin) is the primary protein of snake venom used by Boiga dendrophila. This colubrid snake lives in Southest Asian lowland rainforest and mangrove swamps using birds as its primary prey.
One of the most well characterized snake venom protein families is the Three-finger-toxins (3FTX). These proteins have three β-stranded finger-like loops, stabilized by four disulphide bridges on the surface of a globular core. In non-convential 3TFXs a fifth disulphide bridge can be present as is the case in Denmotoxin.
How the overall structure looks like? Subunits orientation, chains: the number and relative positions, etc.
