Abstract excerpt
The lactose permease of Escherichia coli coupled proton transfer across the bacterial inner membrane with the uptake of beta-galactosides. In the present study we have used the cysteine-less C148 mutant that was selectively labeled by fluorescein maleimide on the C148 residue, which is an active component of the substrate transporting cavity. Measurements of the protonation dynamics of the bound pH indicator in...
