Abstract excerpt
A structural model of the NhaA dimer showed that a beta-hairpin of each monomer combines to form a beta-sheet at the periplasmic side of the membrane. By Cys scanning the entire beta-hairpin and testing each Cys replacement for functionality and intermolecular cross-linking, we found that Gln47 a...
