Abstract excerpt
Members of the LamB family of sugar-selective porins (glycoporins) are beta-barrel proteins in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. To study the determinants of structure and sugar selectivity, 68 non-identical single amino acid substitutions were introduced into the stretch of sequence consisting of residues 106 through 125 in Escherichia coli LamB. This region includes all bar one residue of the...
