Abstract
The structures of a porin from Rhodobacter capsulatus and two porins f rom Escherichia coli provide a wealth of information regarding the str ucture and function of transmembrane pores and extend our rather limit ed knowledge of the structure of membrane proteins in general. There a re also implications for methods used to investigate the topology and properties of membrane proteins and for algorithms used to predict the ir structure.
