Journal ArticleDOI

High electric field effects on the cell membranes of Halicystis parvula : A charge pulse study.

Roland Benz, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1981 - 
TL;DR: The electrical breakdown behavior of the giant algal cell Halicystis parvula was studied in order to predict the optimum conditions for electrically induced cell-to-cell fusion and it is suggested that the membrane structure of H. parvulas is quite different from V. utricularis (larger lipid domains).
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical characterization and crystallization of porin from Rhodopseudomonas blastica

S. Butz, +6 more
- 01 Apr 1993 - 
TL;DR: Oligomeric porin of the phototrophic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas blastica DSM 2131 was obtained from cell envelopes by differential temperature extraction in the presence of detergent and salt and exhibited strong porin activity after reconstitution into lipid bilayer membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetics of the iodine- and bromine-mediated transport of halide ions: demonstration of an interfacial complexation mechanism.

K.H. Klotz, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1993 - 
TL;DR: Experiments at different carrier and halide concentrations suggested that the translocation of the neutral carrier is much faster than the other processes involved in carrier-mediated ion transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of the Protein Complex, Pore Diameter, and Pore-forming Activity of the Borrelia burgdorferi P13 Porin

Iván Bárcena-Uribarri, +8 more
- 04 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: P13 represents a general diffusion pathway for small solutes into Borrelia, and is the protein responsible for the 0.6-nanosiemens pore-forming activity in the outer membrane of B. burgdorferi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corynebacterium jeikeium jk0268 constitutes for the 40 amino acid long PorACj, which forms a homooligomeric and anion-selective cell wall channel.

Narges Abdali, +8 more
- 08 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: Surprisingly, the genome of C. jeikeium contained only one gene coding for a cell wall channel of the PorA/PorH type found in other Corynebacterium species.
