Figure 5

Neuromuscular blockade of chick biventer cervicis preparations incubated at 37°C with native PhTX-I and their chemically modified derivatives with BPB, AA, NBSF, and NPSC, all in concentration 1.4 μM. The points are the mean ± SEM of six experiments. *( ) compared to the twitch-tension before toxin addition.
