Pore-formation in cell membranes is used by many toxins to kill cells. It is usually a process involving multiple steps that are difficult to analyse at the molecular level. The use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has only recently been introduced into the study of pore-forming toxins (PFT). It can give useful data mostly on the first steps of the pore-forming process; the binding to the lipid membranes. In particular, it can make unique contributions to our knowledge of ligand specificity and the kinetics of binding. This mini-review summarizes some recent SPR studies of PFT. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
