These molecules, produced by various species and consisting of protein or small organic molecules, can play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of plants, animals, and humans that in turn can lead to the survival/dissemination of the host microbe. Many of these microbes, due to their toxins, impact our society from a health and economic perspective. In particular, this volume address the diverse niches of these organisms focused upon their associated toxins. The structures, functions, and genetics of toxins will be addressed. Besides the ill-effects elicited by these toxins, it must be noted that there is immense potential for turning some of these harmful molecules into useful tools as specific probes (of receptors), novel drugs or drug-conjugates for the treatment of various diseases, and immunomodulating agents for targeted vaccine delivery for research and unique medicines. Recent progress inbacterial genome mapping and establishment of three-dimensional crystal structures of several bacterial toxins provides a deeper knowledge and greater understanding of structure-function relationships | 出版日期 | Reference work 2018 | 关键词 | Drug Development; Drug Discovery; Toxin; Toxinology; Venom | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-6449-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-6449-1Series ISSN 2542-761X Series E-ISSN 2542-7644 | issn_series | 2542-761X | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2018 |
