Mode of action of antimicrobial proteins, pore-forming toxins and biologically active peptides (Hypothesis)

Mode of action of antimicrobial proteins, pore-forming toxins and biologically active peptides (Hypothesis)

Antimicrobial peptides and pore-forming toxins are important effectors in innate immune defence reactions. But their mode of action, comprising the insertion into cholesterol-containing membranes is not known. Here we explore the mechanical implications of pore-formation by extracellular protein as...
