Endogenous ADP-Ribosylation

This volume gathers the latest exciting findings on ADP-ribosylation from renowned experts in the field. It includes ten chapters, organized into the following three thematic sections:· Evolution and detection of endogenous ADP-ribosylation· ADP-ribosylation by the ARTC family of ADP-ribosyltransferases (R-S-E ARTs)· ADP-ribosylation by the ARTD family of ADP-ribosyltransferases (H-Y-E ARTs)The book will provide readers a better understanding of ADP-ribosylating toxins and their endogenous relatives. This provides a basis for developing novel toxin-neutralizing drugs and drugs targeting endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase relatives.

Broadens your understanding of endogenous mono-ADP-ribosylation reactions Brings together exciting recent findings on ADP-ribosylation Written by leading experts in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
