Alpha-Hemolysin - DNA Translocation
Port-a-Patch and
Vesicle Prep Pro data and applications:
Data were kindly supplied by Prof. Fritz Simmel, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany.
Reconstituted Alpha hemolysin channels are constantly open at positive and negative membrane potentials. Gating is observed as a result of the passage of a single stranded DNA molecule through the pore. Recordings were performed on the Port-a-Patch.
