The bacteria cell envelope is a complex multilayered structure that serves to protect these
organisms from their unpredictable and often hostile environment. The cell envelopes of …

The hallmark of gram-negative bacteria and organelles such as mitochondria and
chloroplasts is the presence of an outer membrane. In bacteria such as Escherichia coli, the …

There is a continuous need for iterative cycles of antibiotic discovery and development to
deal with the selection of resistant pathogens that emerge as therapeutic application of an …

All Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts have outer membrane proteins
(OMPs) that perform many fundamental biological processes. The OMPs in Gram-negative …

Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes and must be imported
across one or both mitochondrial membranes. There is an amazingly versatile set of …

Abstract β-barrel membrane proteins are essential for nutrient import, signalling, motility and
survival. In Gram-negative bacteria, the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex is …

Gram-negative bacteria contain a double membrane which serves for both protection and for
providing nutrients for viability. The outermost of these membranes is called the outer …

Mitochondria, chloroplasts and Gram-negative bacteria are encased in a double layer of
membranes. The outer membrane contains proteins with a β-barrel structure,. β-Barrels are …

β-Barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are found in the outer membranes of Gram-
negative bacteria and are essential for nutrient import, signaling, and adhesion. A 200 …

In Gram-negative bacteria, the biogenesis of β-barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) is
mediated by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex. During the past decade …
