Abstract:

The outer membrane of E. coli is a component of the cell envelope with significant physiological importance. This multifunctional membrane allows the influx of nutrients and simultaneously excludes toxic compounds, such as antibiotics, which must cross this membrane to elicit their cytotoxic effect. The composition and general structure of this membrane are well known, an asymmetric lipid bilayer containing LPS in the outer leaflet, phospholipids in the inner leaflet, densely populated by...
