Novel Small Molecule Inhibitors That Prevent the Neuroparalysis of Tetanus Neurotoxin
Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) is a protein exotoxin produced by <i>Clostridium tetani</i> that causes the deadly spastic neuroparalysis of tetanus. It consists of a metalloprotease light chain and of a heavy chain linked via a disulphide bond. TeNT binds to the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) a...
