Application of cryo-electron microscopy for investigation of Bax-induced pores in apoptosis
Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) is a critical step in apoptosis, the molecular mechanisms of which have been a subject of intensive study. This process is important for therapeutic intervention in various diseases, such as cancer. Pro-apoptotic Bax and Bak are functionally redun...
