Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Towards Exploring Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Geobacillus: A Screen for Type II Toxin-Antitoxin System Families in a Thermophilic Genus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
The toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been attracting attention due to their role in regulating stress responses in prokaryotes and their biotechnological potential. Much recognition has been given to type II TA system of mesophiles, while thermophiles have received merely limited attention.

Toxin–antitoxin systems and regulatory mechanisms in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens and Disease, 2018
There has been a significant reduction in annual tuberculosis incidence since the World Health Organization declared tuberculosis a global health threat. However, treatment of M. tuberculosis infections requires lengthy multidrug therapeutic regimens to achieve a durable cure.

Exploring the Potential of Zero‐Dimensional Carbon Nanomaterials in Photoluminescent, Electrochemiluminescent and Electrochemical Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 11, 9 June 2026.
Zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials are presented as multifunctional platforms linking structure, property, and sensing performance. Surface engineering and heteroatom doping modulate electron‐transfer and luminescent behavior, enabling electrochemical, photoluminescent, and electrochemiluminescent detection. Fundamental design principles, analytical

A competence-regulated toxin-antitoxin system in Haemophilus influenzae.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Natural competence allows bacteria to respond to environmental and nutritional cues by taking up free DNA from their surroundings, thus gaining both nutrients and genetic information.

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Artificial activation of toxin–antitoxin systems as an antibacterial strategy [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2012
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are unique modules that effect plasmid stabilization via post-segregational killing of the bacterial host. The genes encoding TA systems also exist on bacterial chromosomes, and it has been speculated that these are involved in a variety of cellular processes.

Identification of the First Functional Toxin-Antitoxin System in Streptomyces

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread among the plasmids and genomes of bacteria and archaea. This work reports the first description of a functional TA system in Streptomyces that is identical in two species routinely used in the laboratory: Streptomyces lividans and S. coelicolor.
