Biological Toxins as the Potential Tools for Bioterrorism [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Biological toxins are a heterogeneous group produced by living organisms. One dictionary defines them as “Chemicals produced by living organisms that have toxic properties for another organism”. Toxins are very attractive to terrorists for use in acts of bioterrorism. The first reason is that many biological toxins can be obtained very easily.

Function Prediction of Peptide Toxins with Sequence-Based Multi-Tasking PU Learning Method
Toxins, 2022 Peptide toxins generally have extreme pharmacological activities and provide a rich source for the discovery of drug leads. However, determining the optimal activity of a new peptide can be a long and expensive process. In this study, peptide toxins were

Friends or Foes? Emerging Impacts of Biological Toxins [PDF]
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2019 Toxins are substances produced from biological sources (e.g., animal, plants, microorganisms) that have deleterious effects on a living organism. Despite the obvious health concerns of being exposed to toxins, they are having substantial positive impacts in a number of industrial sectors.
