It derives this lethality by blocking signals between nerves and muscles, sometimes for up to several weeks, also causing paralysis of the muscles that control breathing. However, diluted levels of this toxin can be injected into muscles of the face causing paralysis and reducing wrinkles. Other clinical uses include treating muscle conditions associated with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke and Parkinson's. You want to artificially engineer this protein in the lab for patients (which is much safer than growing C botulinum), but all you have is the one strand of the D N A sequence for it, shown below.
