Functional Classification of Protein Toxins as a Basis for Bioinformatic Screening

Scientific Reports, 2017

Negi SS, Schein CH, Ladics GS, Mirsky H, Chang P, Rascle JB, ...

Proteins are fundamental to life and exhibit a wide diversity of activities, some of which are toxic. Therefore, assessing whether a specific protein is safe for consumption in foods and feeds is critical. Simple BLAST searches may reveal homology to a known toxin, when in fact the protein may pose no real danger.
