Exo-Tox: Identifying Exotoxins from secreted bacterial proteins

2025-04-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Bacterial exotoxins are secreted proteins able to affect target cells, and associated with diseases. Their accurate identification can enhance drug discovery and ensure the safety of bacteria-based medical applications. However, current toxin predictors prioritize broad coverage by mixing toxins from multiple biological kingdoms and diverse control sets. This general approach has proven sub-op...
