The beta-barrel is essentially a porin that sits within the bacterial outer membrane.
Secretion is one method of transferring substances across the bacterial outer membrane.
This reaction is coupled to the pumping of four additional protons across the mitochondrial or bacterial membrane.
This enzyme is present in bacterial inner membranes.
Systems for secreting proteins across the bacterial outer membrane may be quite complex and play key roles in pathogenesis.
This results in a disruption of the structure of the bacterial membrane.
The bacterial outer membrane is found in Gram-negative bacteria.
Maltoporin is a trimeric channel on the bacterial outer membrane.
Recent experimental studies show that the initial site of action is the outer bacterial membrane.
These features mean that it can interact with the anionic lipids in the bacterial membrane, such as phosphatidylglycerol.
