| Abstract |
A modified version of the Computer Automated Structure Evaluation (CASE) program has been successfully applied to the study of the neurotoxic and cytotoxic activity of the snake venom toxins. The program identified the sites that seem to be the most relevant to the activity of these two classes of peptides. The knowledge of the three dimensional structure of these peptides together with the relevant fragments selected by the CASE program helped to clarify the differences between the activity of each type of toxin.
