The staphylococcal alpha-toxin pore has a flexible conformation.
The alpha-toxin from Staphylococcus aureus undergoes several conformational changes from the time it is released from the bacterium to the moment it forms a channel in the plasma membrane of its target cell. It is initially a soluble monomer, which undergoes membrane binding and oligomerization into...
