This special topics Webpage from Nature contains two pre-publication research papers and a collection of articles, news stories, and commentary from Nature's archive. The two pre-pubs, Bradley et al.'s "Identification of the cellular receptor for anthrax toxin" and "Crystal structure of the anthrax lethal factor" by Pannifer et al., should be useful to researchers and scientists working on treatments for anthrax. The two other feature articles here, "Designing a polyvalent inhibitor of anthrax toxin" by Mourez et al. and "Genomics and future biological weapons: the need for preventive action by the biomedical community," by Fraser et al., come from October issues of Nature Biotechnology and Nature Genetics respectively. Interested members of the general public should find the collection of Nature news stories, which cover a range of issues related to bioweapons and defense, a worthwhile read. All material is available in HTML or .pdf formats.
