Spider peptides from Brachypelma smithi with slightly different amino acids at their C-terminal loops exert different insecticidal activities
{{output}}
The insecticidal molecules of spiders persistently evolve to ensure rapid paralysis of their prey, and the best molecules are transmitted to their progeny. Here, we cloned two insecticidal peptides, Bs2 and Bs3, from the venom glands of the theraphosid Brachyp... ...
