Abstract excerpt
The two-domain, 325 residue outer membrane protein OmpA is one of the most abundant proteins of Escherichia coli, playing a role in the maintenance of the integrity of the cell surface. The N-terminal domain, consisting of about 170 amino acid residues, is embedded in the membrane, presumably in the form of a beta-barrel consisting of eight amphipathic transmembrane strands. Pairs of these proposed transmembrane...
