Step-by-step assembly of a β-barrel protein in a bacterial membrane

  • 26 April 2023

Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to multiple drugs cannot survive without the cell-surface machinery that builds a β-barrel pore structure from outer membrane proteins. Snapshots of different stages in the assembly process provide insights into this crucial mechanism, and could lead to the development of new antibiotics.
