| Abstract |
Maltoporin (which is encoded by the lamB gene) facilitates the translocation of maltodextrins across the outer membrane of E. coli. In particular, it is indispensable for the transport of long maltooligosaccharides, as these do not pass through non-specific porins. An understanding of this intriguing capability requires elucidation of the structural basis. |
