Two different lipid-associating domains have been identified in the B fragment of diphtheria toxin using automated Edman degradation of its cyanogen bromide peptides, secondary structure prediction ...

An international whole genome sequencing study has shown that diphtheria, an easily preventable but highly contagious potentially fatal upper respiratory tract infection by Corynebacterium diphtheriae ...

WHILE examining by two-dimensional paper partition chromatography the acid hydrolysates of highly purified diphtheria toxin and toxoid, preparatory to attempting the quantitative estimation of the ...

Researchers from the SNI network have discovered a novel way to fuse lipid vesicles at neutral pH. By harnessing a fragment of the diphtheria toxin, the team achieved vesicle membrane fusion without ...

A project taking the first steps towards ending the use of horses to treat diphtheria has succeeded. Funded by the PETA International Science Consortium Ltd. and carried out at the Institute of ...

As cultural successors, hedgehogs reside in close proximity to humans. Road traffic, lawn mowers and infectious agents threaten the prickly insect eaters. Some infectious agents can be transmitted to ...

Diphtheria remains a threat, but effective management hinges on rapid access to both antibiotics and a critically scarce diphtheria antitoxin (DAT).
