Single-molecule kinetics of pore assembly by the membrane attack complex

The membrane attack complex (MAC) is a hetero-oligomeric protein assembly that kills pathogens by perforating their cell envelopes. Here, the authors use atomic force microscopy to show that MAC proteins oligomerize within the membrane, allowing them to identify the kinetic bottleneck of MAC formati...
