Bioscience Reports, 1977 Summary1. Death in several infectious diseases is caused by protein toxins secreted by invading bacteria. Cholera toxin is a simple protein secreted by Vibrio cholerae colonizing the gut; it is responsible for the massive diarrhoea that is cholera.2. The primary action of cholera toxin is an activation of adenylate cyclase, an enzyme found on the inner

Current Biology, 2009 The compounds that we recognize as toxins and venoms span an enormous diversity of pharmacological and ecological functions. The selection pressures driving the modification of venoms and toxins are fundamentally different from those of other proteins, and result in somewhat different evolutionary dynamics.

Cinnamic Acid Analogs as Intervention Catalysts for Overcoming Antifungal Tolerance
Molecules, 2017 Disruption of fungal cell wall should be an effective intervention strategy. However, the cell wall-disrupting echinocandin drugs, such as caspofungin (CAS), cannot exterminate filamentous fungal pathogens during treatment.
