Structure of alpha-toxin. Two separate domains are pictured with N- and C-domains and Zn2+ and possible Ca2+ ions. [http://ac.els-cdn.com/S1075996499901919/1-s2.0-S1075996499901919-main.pdf?_tid=843ae610-28a7-11e7-a31e-00000aacb35e&acdnat=1493008740_a6dead265896beb6ba4f37cf4b555556 ].


The structure of PFO. β-barrels are evident in the four separate domains. Domain 1 and 2 are purple, domain 3 is green and domain 4 is red. [2].


Alpha-toxin shown interacting with lipid bilayer of eukaryotic membrane. Interactions with ions are shown, denoting the critical role of Ca2+ and Zn2+ in the function of alpha-toxin. [3].
