Abstract excerpt
Transporter ProP of Escherichia coli is an osmosensor and an osmoprotectant transporter. Previous results suggest that medium osmolality determines the proportions of ProP in active and inactive conformations. A cysteine-less (Cys-less) variant was created and characterized as a basis for structu...
