Discovery of a Novel Insecticidal Peptide with a Cystine-Stabilized α-Helix/α-Helix Motif from the Venom of Scorpion <i>Liocheles australasiae</i>

Discovery of a Novel Insecticidal Peptide with a Cystine-Stabilized α-Helix/α-Helix Motif from the Venom of Scorpion <i>Liocheles australasiae</i>

Scorpion venom contains various bioactive peptides, many of which exhibit insecticidal activity. The majority of these peptides have a cystine-stabilized α-helix/β-sheet (CSαβ) motif. In addition to these peptides, scorpion venom also contains those with a cystine-stabilized α-helix/α-helix (CSαα) m...
