Abstract excerpt
LamB of Escherichia coli K12, also called maltoporin, is an outer membrane protein, which specifically facilitates the diffusion of maltose and maltodextrin through the bacterial outer membrane. Each monomer is composed of an 18-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel. In the present work, on the basis of the known X-ray structure of LamB, the effects of modifications of the beta-barrel domain of maltoporin were...
