Abstract
The polytopic membrane protein lac permease harnesses energy from the electrochemical H+ gradient to transport beta-galactosidases against a concentration gradient. Although high-resolution structural information is still lacking, the permease is thought to possess 12 membrane-spanning alpha-helical segments. Various experimental strategies, including site-directed mutagenesis, have been employed to probe the function of this membrane protein at the molecular level.Entities:
