The structure of a mycobacterial outer-membrane channel.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 20 Feb 2004

Faller Michael, Niederweis Michael, Schulz Georg E

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacteria have low-permeability outer membranes that render them resistant to most antibiotics. Hydrophilic nutrients can enter by way of transmembrane-channel proteins called porins. An x-ray analysis of the main porin from Mycobacterium smegmatis, MspA, revealed a homooctameric goblet-like c...
