Membrane protein stoichiometry determined from the step-wise photobleaching of dye-labelled subunits.
Body count.In a generally applicable approach, the number of subunits in fluorescently-labelled protein complexes has been determined by counting photobleaching steps from individual molecules (see figure). The distribution of steps in the pore-forming toxins α-haemolysin and leukocidin indicate sev...
