Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of melibiose transport was studied in cells containing plasmid pAA22 which expresses the mutant lactose carrier (serine-306 to leucine) cloned from Escherichia coli AA22. These studies were of interest because several lines of evidence suggested that the AA22 mutation conferred nove...
