CryoEM reveals how the complement membrane attack complex ruptures lipid bilayers

The complement membrane attack complex (MAC) is a lytic immune pore that kills pathogens. Here the authors use cryoEM to provide a structural and biophysical mechanism for how β-pore forming proteins breach the lipid bilayer, providing pathways to explore pore-formation in molecular detail.
