Abstract excerpt
BtuB is an outer membrane protein responsible for the uptake of vitamin B12 by Escherichia coli. It belongs to a family of bacterial transport proteins that derive energy for transport by coupling to the trans-periplasmic energy-coupling protein TonB. Using site-directed spin labeling and EPR we investigated the structure and substrate-induced changes in the TonB box, a highly conserved region in all TonB...
