Differential Effect of Solution Conditions on the Conformation of the Actinoporins Sticholysin II and Equinatoxin II
Actinoporins are a family of pore-forming proteins with hemolytic activity. The structural basis for such activity appears to depend on their correct folding. Such folding encompasses a phosphocholine binding site, a tryptophan-rich region and the activity-related N-terminus segment. Additionally, d...
