Crystal Structure of Fasciculin 1fas
Fasciculins (FAS) are toxins produced by the snake green mamba. FAS1 and FAS2 are known to bind to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cause severe fasciculations. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative FAS, i.e. the crystal structure of Fasciculin 1 (1fas). For toxins in Proteopedia see Toxins.
