The Aerolysin Family [Function: Non-specific diffusion channels] Seed alignment | Full alignment | Pfam page | TC-DB page | ||||
Aerolysin is a heptamer where seven monomers form a ß-barrel with 14 strands at the outer membrane of Aeromonas hydrophila. The aerolysin pore is more stable due its concentric ß-barrel fold. | ||||
