Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent toxins known and the causative agent of botulism. Their exceptional toxicity is caused by the highly efficient inhibition of neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. High affinity binding of BoNTs is mediated by the simultaneous interaction with lipid embedded synaptic vesicle proteins and gangliosides the presynaptic membrane according to the well-established dual-receptor binding model. One peculiarity that is especially pronounced

3. Summarize an article from a peer reviewed journal dealing with one of the topics presented in the article. The article reviewed discussed the topic of human cytotoxicity in response to exposure to glyphosate‚ its major metabolite (AMPA)‚ and the commonly added surfactant compounds found in major herbicides. Glyphosate exposure has increased world-wide at an exponential rate along with the production of genetically modified crops. Currently up to 75% of genetically modified crops are treated

I concur with COL Reed’s comments on toxicity but believe that further emphasis is required on the individual leader responsible for the behavior. The paper comprehensively researches toxicity and its fall-out. He goes to great length to define and list the effects of toxicity on unit morale‚ cohesion‚ and retention. Accurate pitfalls with existing assessment tools address how toxic leaders continue their ascent to positions of increased spheres of influence. Techniques for raters to frankly
