The bacterial outer membrane proteins OmpA and OmpX were modified in such a manner that they yielded bulky crystals diffracting X-rays isotropically beyond 2 A resolution and permitting detailed structural analyses. The procedure involved semi-directed mutagenesis, mass production into inclusion bodies, and (re)naturation therefrom; it should be applicable for a broader range of membrane proteins.
细菌外膜蛋白OmpA和OmpX经过修饰,形成了体积较大的晶体,这些晶体能够在2埃分辨率以上各向同性地衍射X射线,从而可以进行详细的结构分析。该过程包括半定向诱变、大量生产形成包涵体以及从包涵体中(重新)复性;它应该适用于更广泛的膜蛋白。
