Abstract excerpt
Understanding the flow of ions through E. coli porin outer membrane protein F (OmpF) requires knowledge of the charge state of all titratable residues located along the permeation pathway. Earlier theoretical studies proved successful in the calculation of the pK values of most residues. The (apparent) pK of Asp37 (D37), on the other hand, appeared rather sensitive to the (unknown) protein dielectric used. We...
