Protein toxins and membrane transport.
Recently, protein toxins have provided novel information on the anatomy of the machinery that mediates vesicle docking and fusion with target membranes within the cell. Their use is being extended to the study of the physiology of these processes in different cells and tissues, as well as to the intracellular pathways of membrane transport.
