additional information | Clostridium botulinum | BoNTs are the most toxic proteins known with mouse LD50 values in the range of 1-5 ng/kg. They are responsible for the pathophysiology of botulism. BoNTs enter peripheral cholinergic nerve terminals, where they cleave one or two of the three core proteins of the neuroexocytosis apparatus and elicit persistent but reversible inhibition of neurotransmitter release | ? | - |
