The Role of Extracellular Loops in the Folding of Outer Membrane Protein X (OmpX) of Escherichia coli
The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria acts as an additional diffusion barrier for solutes and nutrients. It is perforated by outer membrane proteins (OMPs) that function most often as diffusion pores, but sometimes also as parts of larger cellular transport complexes, structural components of...
