Outer membrane phospholipase A (OMPLA) is one of the few enzymes present in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. Two-dimensional crystals of OMPLA were grown by reconstitution of purified protein into lipid bilayers via detergent dialysis and were studied by electron crystallography. A 7.4-A projection map reveals OMPLA molecules exhibiting an oval-shaped domain of 30 x 20 A resembling the beta-barrel structure characteristic of porins, which is associated with a 25-A elongated domain of lower density.
外膜磷脂酶A（OMPLA）是存在于大肠杆菌外膜中的少数几种酶之一。通过去污剂透析将纯化的蛋白质重组到脂质双层中来生长OMPLA的二维晶体，并通过电子晶体学进行研究。一幅7.4埃的投影图显示，OMPLA分子呈现出一个30×20埃的椭圆形结构域，类似于孔蛋白的β桶结构特征，该结构域与一个25埃的低密度延长结构域相关联。
