Tetanus (TeNT) and botulinum neurotoxins (BONT, seven different types A-G) are responsible of the neuroparalytic syndromes of tetanus and botulism, respectively. They consist of a heavy chain involved in neurospecific binding and cell penetration of the light chain, which is responsible for the blockade of neurotransmitter release.
