- Synopsis
- Pore-forming proteins and peptides play a central role in bacterial pathogenesis, the immune response, venomous attack, and innate immunity. Pore-forming Peptides and Protein Toxins describes how natural and synthetic peptides and toxins form pores and ionic channels that cause cell membrane collapse and cell death. Written by researchers from around the world, it discusses such topics as the channel-forming properties of Helicobacter pylori and the role of amyloid peptide channels in the development of amyloid diseases. This text provides a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the basic principles and cellular mechanisms of the actions of toxins and their potential use as research tools.
