Uraemic toxins and new methods to control their accumulation : game changers for the concept of dialysis adequacy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The current concept of an adequate dialysis based only on the dialysis process itself is rather limited. We now have considerable knowledge of uraemic toxicity and improved tools for limiting uraemic toxin accumulation. It is time to make use of these. A

The intestine and the kidneys : a bad marriage can be hazardous [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The concept that the intestine and chronic kidney disease influence each other, emerged only recently. The problem is multifaceted and bidirectional. On one hand, the composition of the intestinal microbiota impacts uraemic retention solute production ...

Biological Activity of Heated Diphtheria Toxin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1973
Diphtheria toxin splits into two fragments when heated at 100 C for 10 min in a phosphate buffer. The separated fragments have molecular weights of 24,000 and 39,000, respectively. These molecular weights are similar to those of the A and B fragments found in diphtheria toxin preparations after thiol reduction.

Function Prediction of Peptide Toxins with Sequence-Based Multi-Tasking PU Learning Method

open access: yesToxins, 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
