Abstract excerpt
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4B11 binds to a conformational epitope in the lactose permease that is exposed on the cytoplasmic face of the membrane with a KD of 2.8 x 10(-7) M. By studying binding of 4B11 to permease mutants containing six contiguous His residues in each cytoplasmic loop, inserted factor Xa protease sites, or a C-terminal deletion, the cytoplasmic loops between helices VIII and IX (loop VIII/IX) and...
