Diphtheria toxin: a novel cytocidal enzyme

Volume: 12, Pages: 28 - 31
Published: Jan 1, 1987
Abstract
Diphtheria toxin specifically catalyses inactivation of elongation factor-2causing inhibition of protein synthesis, so that uptake of a single molecule of toxin may kill any eukaryotic cell. Protein engineering of such powerful bacterial toxins could produce potent therapeutic agents, or inactive mutants for use in...
