(1) In a subsequent article we will provide the same analysis for DNA transport through [alpha] hemolysin .(2) It is interesting to note that the interaction of another hemolytic protein, the earthworm hemolysin eiseniapore, with lipid membranes has been shown to require sphingolipids.(3) In experiments one usually measures the time it takes one voltage-driven single-stranded DNA to translocate through the [alpha] hemolysin channel of a known structure.(4) There are many bacterial virulence factors that may contribute to clinical outcomes, including bacterial hemolysins , proteases, and siderophores.(5) Phospholipase and lecithinase are hemolysins that act synergistically to break down lipids and lecithin.
