Prediction of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins based on feature extraction

A neurotoxin is essentially a protein that mainly acts on the nervous system; it has a selective toxic effect on the central nervous system and neuromuscular nodes, can cause muscle paralysis and respiratory paralysis, and has strong lethality. According to their principle of action, neurotoxins are...
