Structure and function of an OmpC deletion mutant porin from Escherichia coli K-12.

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli K-12 strain RAM122 contains a mutation in the ompC gene that results in an eight amino acid deletion, delta 103-110, in the porin protein. Since this strain is capable of growing on maltodextrins in the absence of a functional lamB gene, the mutant protein is thought to have a la...
