Mechanism of tetanolysin-induced membrane damage: studies with black lipid membranes.

RESUMO
Tetanolysin produced similar rates of leakage of K+ and hemoglobin from erythrocytes. When studied by using cholesterol-containing black lipid membranes, this hemolysin induced conductance steps with a broad frequency distribution. These findings are inconsistent with the formation of structural channels and suggest that tetanolysin acts by causing lipid perturbations.
