Recent studies applying advanced imaging techniques are changing the way we
understand bacterial cell surfaces, bringing new knowledge on everything from single-cell …

The growing emergence of multidrug resistance in bacterial pathogens is an immediate
threat to human health worldwide. Unfortunately, there has not been a matching increase in …

The outer membrane structure is common in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and
chloroplasts, and contains outer membrane β-barrel proteins (OMPs) that are essential …

Transmembrane β barrel proteins are folded into the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-
negative bacteria by the β barrel assembly machinery (BAM) via a poorly understood …

Mitochondrial β-barrel proteins are essential for the transport of metabolites, ions and
proteins. The sorting and assembly machinery (SAM) mediates their folding and membrane …

The β‐barrel assembly machinery (BAM complex) is essential for outer membrane protein
(OMP) folding in Gram‐negative bacteria, and represents a promising antimicrobial target …

Correct folding of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) into the outer membrane of Gram-
negative bacteria depends on delivery of unfolded OMPs to the β-barrel assembly …

BamA, the core component of the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex, is an outer-
membrane protein (OMP) in Gram-negative bacteria. Its function is to insert and fold …

The β‐barrel assembly machinery (Bam) complex facilitates the assembly of outer
membrane proteins (OMPs) in gram‐negative bacteria. The Bam complex is conserved and …

The outer membrane is a distinguishing feature of the Gram-negative envelope. It lies on the
external face of the peptidoglycan sacculus and forms a robust permeability barrier that …
