Cloning of the fabF gene in an expression vector and in vitro characterization of recombinant fabF and fabB encoded enzymes from Escherichia coli.

abstract：:omega-Conotoxin MVIIC binds to P/Q-type calcium channels with high affinity and N-type channels with low affinity. To reveal the residues essential for subtype selectivity, we synthesized Ala-scanning analogs of MVIIC. Binding assays using rat cerebellar P(2) membranes suggested that Thr(11), Tyr(13) and Lys(2) are es...
