  4. 3. Characterization of Mitilysin Pores by Cryo-electron Microscopy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Vladimir Novakovic; [2023]
    Keywords : Mitilysin; Mly; Structural Biology; Cryo-EM; pore; toxin; pore forming proteins; pore forming toxins; PFP; PFT;

    Abstract : Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are a large group of proteins found mainly in bacteria with some exceptions found in animals. They bind and form pores in their target membranes and form pores, which leads to cell death. Among these are cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC), which require the presence of cholesterol to bind target membranes. READ MORE
