Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA) is a member of the family of bacterial ADP-ribosylating toxins that use NAD(+) as the ADP-ribose donor. The reaction catalyzed by ETA involves the nucleophilic attack of the diphthamide residue on the anomeric carbon of the nicotinamide ribose forming a new gl …
