Abstract excerpt
In contrast to typical membrane proteins that span the lipid bilayer via transmembrane alpha-helices, bacterial outer membrane proteins adopt a beta-barrel architecture composed of antiparallel transmembrane beta-strands. The topology of outer membrane proteins is difficult to predict accurately using computer algorithms, and topology mapping protocols commonly used for alpha-helical membrane proteins do not work...
