Maltoporin: sugar for physics and biology
Abstract
Maltoporin has been studied for over 50 years. This trimeric bacterial outer membrane channel allows permeation of sugars such as maltodextrins. Its structure is described and functional studies resulting in a mechanistic transport model are critically discussed.
