| 1. | A diverse range of studies has been done on Cytolysins.
|
| 2. | Membrane-damaging toxins exhibit hemolysin or cytolysin activity " in vitro ".
|
| 3. | Tetanolysin belongs to a family of protein toxins known as cytolysins which bind to cholesterol.
|
| 4. | Finally, the formed cytolysin clusters penetrate target cells'membranes and form membrane pores.
|
| 5. | Pore forming cytolysins ( PFCs ) comprise near 65 % of all membrane-damaging cytolysins.
|
| 6. | Pore forming cytolysins ( PFCs ) comprise near 65 % of all membrane-damaging cytolysins.
|
| 7. | During this stage, cytolysins complete transition from water-soluble monomers state into oligomers state.
|
| 8. | Since the 1970s, more than 40 new cytolysins have been discovered and grouped into different families.
|
| 9. | With the help of receptors, cytolysin monomers combines with each other and form clusters of oligomers.
|
| 10. | Cytolysins adopt a stable membrane pore formation, possibly by the penetration of the membrane by the helix.
