Identification and Characterization of Intermediates during Folding on the β-Barrel Assembly Machine in Escherichia coli

β-barrel membrane proteins play important structural and functional roles in Gram negative bacteria and in mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotes. A conserved machine is responsible for the folding and insertion of β-barrel membrane proteins but its mechanism remains largely unknown. In E. coli...
