| dc.description.abstract | Cholera "toxin binds to the outside of cells and one of its sub-units
enters to activate adenylate cyclase. In the current work the nature
of this action across the membrane was related to the hydrophobicities
of cholera toxin and its subunits. Charge—shift electrophoresis
showed that the proteins have no hydrophobic surfaces. Amino—acid
composition and sequence data suggested that the molecules have no
masked hydrophobic regions. Therefore part of cholera toxin may interact with polar molecules during its passage across the membrane. | en |
