文摘

The crystal structure of MOMP, the general diffusion porin of Campylobacter, has been determined.

The protein is an 18-stranded β-barrel that is different than the 16-stranded OmpC and OmpF proteins from E. coli, but like them, MOMP is trimeric.

The protein has a central pore size and conductivity intermediate between OmpC and OmpF.

A Ca2 + ion bound at the constriction zone influences the biophysical properties of porin.

The trajectory of the transit of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin through the pore is dependent on the presence of a metal ion.
