Subunit dimers of alpha-hemolysin expand the engineering toolbox for protein nanopores.
Staphylococcal α-hemolysin (αHL) forms a heptameric pore that features a 14-stranded transmembrane β-barrel. We attempted to force the αHL pore to adopt novel stoichiometries by oligomerizing subunit dimers generated by in vitro transcription and translation of a tandem gene. However, in vitro trans...
