Description for Proteins
Hardback. In response to significant new structural information on soluble forms of pore-forming proteins, this book shows how important pore-forming toxin families achieve membrane binding and which structural elements are used for formation of transmembrane pores. Editor(s): Lakey, Jeremy H.; Anderluh, Gregor. Series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. Num Pages: 172 pages, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 257 x 173 x 15. Weight in Grams: 454.
Formation of transmembrane pores is a very effective way of killing cells. It is thus not surprising that many bacterial and eukaryotic toxic agents are pore-forming proteins. Pore formation in a target membrane is a complex process composed of several steps; proteins need to attach to the lipid membrane, possibly aggregate in the plane of the membrane and finally form a pore by inserting part of the polypeptide chain across the lipid bilayer. Structural information about toxins at each stage is indispensible for the biochemical and molecular biological studies that aim to - derstand how pores are formed at the ... Read more
