Conformational dynamics and membrane interactions of the E. coli outer membrane protein FecA: A molecular dynamics simulation study

The TonB-dependent transporters mediate high-affinity binding and active transport of a variety of substrates across the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. The substrates transported by these proteins are large, scarce nutrients that are unable to gain entry into the cell by passive diffusion acros...
