ADP-Ribosylating Toxins

ADP-ribosylating toxins have been the focus of intensive research for more than 30 years. Researchers from diverse fields of science have taken an interest in these bacterial toxins; they are studied, for example, by microbiologists, biochemists, cell biologists, and pharmacologists. There are two principal reasons for the broad and still growing interest in ADP­ ribosylating toxins. First, insights into the structure and functions of the toxins might be the key to prevention and treatment of d
