Abstract excerpt
It had previously been hypothesized that the ability of a small number of immunity protein molecules in the cytoplasmic membrane to confer protection against the lethal effects of a channel-forming colicin involves a complex stabilized by electrostatic or polar interactions between immunity protein, the colicin channel, and specific sites on the cytoplasmic membrane surface defined by the presence of the tol gene...
