Remodelling the cavity of a transmembrane pore by genetic engineering

The cavity within the transmembrane staphylococcal α-hemolysin (αHL) pore is roughly a sphere of diameter ~45 Ã (volume ~32,600 Ã 3). The alpha-hemolysin gene was modified to introduce exogenous polypeptide sequences between positions 105 and 106 of αHL. These modified &a...
