Abstract excerpt
Colicin E1 is a soluble, bacteriocidal protein that forms voltage-gated channels in planar lipid bilayers. The channel-forming region of the 522-amino acid protein is near the COOH terminus, and contains a 35-amino acid hydrophobic segment which is presumed to be important in interacting with the membrane. We have used site-directed mutagenesis in the region immediately upstream from the hydrophobic segment to...
