Questions For Future Research
Despite the recent advances in the understanding of anthrax toxin, there are still several missing details in the action of anthrax toxin. These missing details leave questions about the molecular actions inside the cell.2 What role does EF play in hindering the immune system? Does it work with LF for its effect? How do the enzymes refold after translocation? Is there a chaperonin? Two proteins: KIF1C and the proteasome have shown a contribution to the effect of lethal toxin, but how do they contribute? Does LF target certain MAPKKs with a greater specificity? Does LF target other molecules too?

Famous quotes containing the words questions, future and/or research:
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because children’s questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the child’s level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
The future might stop emerging out of the past,
Out of what is full of us; yet the search
And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
