Abstract excerpt
Transmembrane β-barrels of eukaryotic outer mitochondrial membranes (OMMs) are major channels of communication between the cytosol and mitochondria and are indispensable for cellular homeostasis. A structurally intriguing exception to all known transmembrane β-barrels is the unique odd-stranded, i.e. 19-stranded, structures found solely in the OMM. The molecular origins of this 19-stranded structure and its...
