The extremely potent substance botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) has attracted much interest
in diverse fields. Originally identified as cause for the rare but deadly disease
botulism, military and terrorist intended to misuse this sophisticated molecule as
biological weapon. This caused its classification as select agent category A by the
Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention and the listing in the Biological and
Toxin Weapons Convention. Later, the civilian use of BoNT as long acting peripheral
muscle relaxant has turned this molecule into an indispensable pharmaceutical world
wide with annual revenues>
