Yet it remains challenging to measure the amplitudes and time scales of protein motions. Here we show that the cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore was used as a molecular tweezer to trap a single ...

These bacteria can metabolize nutrients and complex carbohydrates. They also make cholesterol-dependent cytolysin-like (CDCL) toxins, which can poke holes in other microbes, causing them to die. But ...

Led by microbiology professor Rodney Tweten, the team studied Bacteroides bacteria, which produce cholesterol-dependent cytolysin-like (CDCL) toxins. These proteins help bacteria compete in the ...

The bacteria are also fierce protectors of their own turf. They produce proteins called cholesterol-dependent cytolysin-like (CDCL) toxins that punch holes in rival bacteria, causing them to burst ...
