Abstract
Cholera Toxin (CT) recognizes the cell membrane through specific interactions with ganglioside GM1. Recent structural elucidation of the CT/GM1 complex has allowed the rational design of artificial receptors for the toxin, which could function as anti-cholera drugs. The efforts towards the rational design of Cholera Toxin inhibitors will be presented. © 2007 Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.
