Abstract excerpt
The eight-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel domain of the OmpA protein from Escherichia coli serves as a paradigm for the study of membrane assembly of integral beta-structured membrane proteins. Previous studies have shown that neither the periplasmic turns nor the surface-exposed loops contain topogenic information. Consequently, the question of whether any structural constraint is imposed onto individual...
