[Sequencing and comparative-bioinformatic analysis of chlorotoxin-like peptide from Iranian scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus]

ABSTRACT

Background and aims: Scorpion neurotoxins have been widely studied in recent years, including investigations into their physiological functions and pharmaceutical properties. Chlorotoxin is one of the most attended toxins that are used in brain cancer therapy at now. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sequencing and comparative -bioinformatic analysis of DNA coding chlorotoxin like peptide from Iranian scorpion mesobuthus eupeus
