TLDR
The major envelope protein from Escherichia coli has been purified by differential heat extraction in dodecyl sulfate and subsequently freed of the detergent, and its molecular weight agrees with that derived from the mobility of the major band observed in standard dodecYL sulfate gel electrophoretic analysis of unfractionated cell envelopes after treatment at 100°.

Molecular Basis of Bacterial Outer Membrane Permeability Revisited

TL;DR: This review summarizes the development in the field since the previous review and begins to understand how this bilayer of the outer membrane can retard the entry of lipophilic compounds, owing to increasing knowledge about the chemistry of lipopolysaccharide from diverse organisms and the way in which lipopoly Saccharide structure is modified by environmental conditions.

Molecular basis of bacterial outer membrane permeability.

TL;DR: It is becoming increasingly clear that the outer membrane is very important in the physiology of gram-negative bacteria in making them resistant to host defense factors such as lysozyme, P-lysin, and various leukocyte proteins.

Analysis of membrane and surface protein sequences with the hydrophobic moment plot.

TL;DR: An algorithm has been developed which identifies alpha-helices involved in the interactions of membrane proteins with lipid bilayers and which distinguishes them from helices in soluble proteins, and suggests four transmembrane helices and a surface-seeking helix in fragment B, the moiety known to have trans Membrane function.

Crystal structures explain functional properties of two E. coli porins

TL;DR: The crystal structures of matrix porin and phosphoporin both reveal trimers of identical subunits, each subunit consisting of a 16-stranded anti-parallel β-barrel containing a pore.

Electrophoretic resolution of the ‘major outer membrane protein’ of Escherichia coli K12 into four bands

TL;DR: The cell envelope of Enterobacteriaceae consists of two membranes separated by a peptidoglycan layer, and methods have been developed to separate the cytoplasmic membrane from the outer membrane.
