Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcal α-haemolysin is a β-barrel pore-forming toxin expressed by Staphylococcus aureus. α-Haemolysin is secreted as a water-soluble monomeric protein which binds to target membranes and forms membrane-inserted heptameric pores. Although the crystal structures of the heptameric pore and monomer bound to an antibody have been determined, that of monomeric α-haemolysin without binder has yet to be...
