Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1996 Two novel toxins containing 66 amino acid residues each were isolated from the venom of the scorpions Centruroides infamatus infamatus and Centruroides limpidus limpidus, respectively. Their full amino acid sequences were determined. Comparison of primary structures showed that they share 97% similarity among themselves and 83% to that of toxin 2 from ...
