A porin-like protein used by bacterial predators defines a wider lipid-trapping superfamily - Nature Communications
This study reveals that an outer membrane protein from the predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus forms a pentameric assembly that traps a lipid monolayer within. This allows the discovery of two superfa...
