A single-domain llama antibody potently inhibits the enzymatic activity of botulinum neurotoxin by binding to the non-catalytic alpha-exosite binding region.

| description: |
The epitope residues were calculated from [PDB: 3K3Q] as the antigen residues at 4Å
atomic distance from the antibody.
The epitope of Aa1 VHH on BoNT/A light chain (Lc 425) was determined from the crystal structure of the complex solved by molecular replacement. The asymmetric unit contains a single BoNT/A Lc endopeptidase bound by the Aa1 VHH fragment in a 1:1 stoichiometry. Chain B is N-terminal fragment of BoNT catalytic domain (residues 3-250) and Chain C is the C-terminal fragment of BoNT catalytic domain (residues 251-425).
