Bacterial alpha-hemolysin toxin F006 / 9771
Bacterial alpha-hemolysin toxin, molecular model. This toxin is secreted by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It is an example of a pore-forming toxin, forming pores in the membranes of affected cells, damaging or killing them (making it a cytolytic protein). This toxin forms a heptameric (seven-part) transmembrane pore. Seven protein chains form the outer beta barrel-type pore (top), with an inner (bottom), smaller barrel inside the outer one

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Bacterial alpha-hemolysin toxin F006/9771. Secreted by the notorious bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, this toxin exemplifies a pore-forming toxin that wreaks havoc on affected cells. Its cytolytic properties make it a formidable protein capable of damaging or even killing these cells. The image depicts a heptameric transmembrane pore, consisting of seven protein chains forming an outer beta barrel-type pore at the top. Within this outer structure lies a smaller inner barrel, creating a visually stunning and complex arrangement. The white background accentuates the detailed illustration, highlighting its significance in biology, research, and medicine. With its toxic nature and biochemical composition, this molecule represents both a threat and an opportunity for scientific exploration. Researchers delve into proteomics to understand its mechanisms while healthcare professionals strive to combat infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. This artwork serves as more than just an aesthetic representation; it symbolizes our continuous efforts in microbiology to unravel the mysteries of pathogenic bacteria and develop effective medical interventions. As we navigate through biochemistry's intricacies, images like these remind us of the importance of understanding molecular structures in combating diseases and safeguarding human health.
