Abstract excerpt
Plasmids encoding "split" lactose permease constructs with discontinuities in either the periplasmic loop between helices V and VI (N(5)/C(7)) or between helices VI and VII (N(6)/C(6)) were used to localize helix VI within the tertiary structure by site-directed thiol cross-linking. A total of 57 double-Cys pairs, with one Cys residue in helix VI and another in helix V or VIII, were studied with homobifunctional...
