A Molecularly Complete Planar Bacterial Outer Membrane Platform [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractThe bacterial outer membrane (OM) is a barrier containing membrane proteins and liposaccharides that fulfill crucial functions for Gram-negative bacteria. With the advent of drug-resistant bacteria, it is necessary to understand the functional role of this membrane and its constituents to enable novel drug designs.
