The outer membrane protein A of Escherichia coli (OmpA) is an intensely studied example in the field of membrane protein folding. We have determined the structure of the OmpA transmembrane domain ...

His laboratory provided the first structure of the outer membrane ion channel of E. coli, OmpA. The group also studies OmpG, an outer membrane protein whose single polypeptide chain forms a ...

By determining the OmpA transmembrane domain structure, Pautsch and Schulz have defined perhaps the minimal β-barrel on the yardstick of membrane protein structure. As they suggest, the eight ...

While scientists understand much about the structure and stability ... Tamm and Hong demonstrated that the folding of OmpA into the lipid bilayers of a membrane is a reversible, two-state process.

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron ...
