Molecular modelling of beta-barrel outer membrane proteins

Abstract:

In Gram-negative bacteria, the Outer membrane (OM) acts as a first barrier to screen unwanted compounds whilst enabling ions and very small solutes to diffuse into the cell. Most of nutrients and essential ions are effectively transported across a membrane via the outer membrane proteins (OMPs). The water-filled β- barrel OMPs are called porins. These pores are classified into two groups, non- specific and substrate-specific porins. Each of them has different mechanisms to facilitate its s...
