Ganglioside G M1 is the receptor for cholera toxin on cell surfaces, and the binding of cholera toxin to G M1 immobilized on microtitre plates has been reported previously by several authors as an assay for the toxin (G M1 -ELISA). This assay has been examined in detail. Results were independent of

The use of the B subunit of cholera toxin, a protein that binds specifically to ganglioside GM 1, has provided a new paradigm for studying physiological functions of ganglioside GMl . The B subunit inhibited the growth of rat glioma C6 cells that had been pretreated with ganglioside GM1. In some pre
## Abstract The solution dynamics of the oligosaccharide moiety of ganglioside G~M1~ have been determined by use of a combination of ^1^H rotating frame Overhauser effect measurements and restrained molecular dynamics simulations, It is found that the GalΞ²1β3 and NeuNAc moieties which are primarily
