Imaging the assembly of the Staphylococcal pore-forming toxin alpha-Hemolysin
Alpha-hemolysin is a pore-forming toxin secreted by pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus. Its spontaneous oligomerization and assembly into a trans-bilayer beta-barrel pore is a model for the assembly of many other pore-forming toxins. It is studied here in vitro as a means to probe general membrane pro...
