Question
Chapter 10, Problem 7E
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why porins contains at least 16 or 18 strands of β-barrels.
Concept introduction: Some trans-membrane proteins contain β-barrels. Trans-membrane β-barrels in most proteins contain 8 to 22 strands. The number of strands must be even to permit the β-sheet to close up on itself with all strands antiparallel. Porins are trans-membrane proteins that allow the molecules or ions to pass across the membrane.
