Investigating the molecular mechanisms of colicin import into Escherichia coli cells

Colicins are a family of bacterial toxins, which kill Escherichia coli cells and other closely related species. Their mode of action requires binding to an outer membrane receptor, translocation across the cell envelope leading to cytotoxicity at specific targets. The mechanism of colicin cytotoxici...
