Abstract excerpt
Colicins are antibiotic proteins that kill sensitive Escherichia coli cells. Their mode of action involves three steps: binding to specific receptors located in the outer membrane, translocation across this membrane, and action on their targets. A specific colicin domain can be assigned to each o...
