Abstract

The neurotoxin Os-1 from the venom of the Central Asian scorpion Orthochirus scrobiculosus possesses a high paralytic activity against mice. This neurotoxin was subjected to tryptic, chymotryptic and BrCN cleavages and its total amino acid sequence was established. It was shown that neurotoxin Os-1 consists of 66 amino acid residues an contains four disulfide bonds.
