Abstract
Channel-forming colicins undergo a remarkable series of conformational gyrations during their voyage from the extracellular milieu to the pe riplasmic membrane, Crystal structures of the intact colicin la molecu le and a channel-forming domain of colicin El illuminate relationships between the molecular structure and biological function of these volt age-dependent channel-forming toxins.
