The Isolation of New Pore-Forming Toxins from the Sea Anemone <i>Actinia fragacea</i> Provides Insights into the Mechanisms of Actinoporin Evolution

Random mutations and selective pressure drive protein adaptation to the changing demands of the environment. As a consequence, nature favors the evolution of protein diversity. A group of proteins subject to exceptional environmental stress and known for their widespread diversity are the pore-formi...
