Cytotoxic proteins.
Cytotoxic proteins, which enter eukaryotic cells and catalytically inactivate protein synthesis, are being increasingly studied using a combination of molecular biology, cell biology and structural approaches. The creation of genetically engineered fusions with alternative cell-binding ligands paves the way for tailor-made, cell-type-specific killing agents.
