Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) cleave proteins involved in neurotransmitter release, with different serotypes showing distinct cleavage specificity. The structure of BoNT F with peptide inhibitors based on the VAMP substrate give insight into residues crucial for substrate binding and catalysis.
