Abstract

Abstract: Brown blotch disease in mushrooms is caused by Pseudomonas tolaasin, which produces a peptide toxin, tolaasin I, and zinc ion inhibits the channel formed by tolaasin I. NMR experiments revealed that zinc, sodium, and calcium ions can bind to tolaasin I and their binding position on tolaasin I is the lactone ring.
