Synthesized Geopolymers Adsorb Bacterial Proteins, Toxins, and Cells
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Pore-forming and hemolytic toxins are bacterial cytotoxic proteins required for virulence in many pathogens, including staphylococci and streptococci, and are notably associated with clinical manifestations of disease.

Electrostatic Control of Polymer Translocation Speed through α-Hemolysin Protein Pore [PDF]
Macromolecules, 2016 The electrostatic origins behind the speed of translocation of a uniformly charged flexible macromolecule through α-hemolysin (αHL) protein pores under a voltage are investigated using variations in pH and electrolyte concentration. We have measured durations of successful threading of poly(styrenesulfonate) through αHL at two different pH conditions ...

Integration of a virus membrane protein into the lipid bilayer of target cells as a prerequisite for immune cytolysis [PDF]
, 1979 Structural requirements for membrane antigens on target cells to mediate immune cytolysis were studied in a model system with purified membrane proteins from Semliki Forest virus (SFV). These SFV spike proteins were isolated in the form of detergent- and

Synergism among oxidants, proteinases, phospholipases, microbial hemolysins, cationic proteins, and cytokines [PDF]
Inflammation, 1992 A striking similarity exists between the pathogenetic properties of group A streptococci and those of activated mammalian professional phagocytes (neutrophils, macrophages). Both types of cells are endowed by the ability to adhere to target cells; to elaborate oxidants, hydrolases, and membrane-active agents (hemolysins, phospholipases); and to freely ...
