title: Application of photoactive yellow protein as a photoresponsive module for controlling hemolytic activity of staphylococcal α-hemolysin.
abstract: A chimeric protein (N-PYP-Hla), consisting of staphylococcal pore-forming toxin α-hemolysin (Hla) and photoactive yellow protein (PYP), exhibited photoresponsive hemolytic activities, where visible light irradiation gave rise to retardation of hemolysis at 25 °C.
