Abstract excerpt
LamB specifically facilitates the diffusion of maltose and maltodextrins through the bacterial outer membrane, and acts as a general (i.e. non-specific) porin for small hydrophilic molecules (< 600 daltons). We reported previously that deletion of the last predicted external domain near the C-terminus of the Eschirichia coli LamB protein (residues 376 to 405), affected in vivo the binding and transport of...
