Abstract excerpt
Assembly and penetration of 14-strand beta-barrel of staphylococcal alpha-hemolysin (alpha-HL) is an intriguing phenomenon due to its water soluble property. alpha-HL interacts with the Caveolin-1 of A431 cells for its rapid assembly. A nine amino acid, non-hydrophobic peptide derived from alpha-HL has been shown to block the interaction of alpha-HL with the scaffolding domain of Caveolin-1. alpha-HL's presence...
