Mechanism and function of the outer membrane channel TolC in multidrug resistance and physiology of enterobacteria
TolC is an archetypal member of the Outer membrane Efflux Protein (OEP) family. These proteins are involved in export of peptide and small molecule toxins across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Genomes of some bacteria such as Pseudomonas species contain multiple copies of OEPs. In con...
