Abstract excerpt
The conductance of channels formed by diphtheria toxin (DT) in lipid bilayer membrane depends strongly on pH. We have previously shown that a 61 amino acid region of the protein, denoted TH8-9, is sufficient to form channels having the same pH-dependent conductance properties as those of whole toxin channels. One residue in this region, Aspartate 352, is responsible for all the dependence of single channel...
