Applying fluorescent dye assays to discriminate Escherichia coli chlorhexidine resistance phenotypes from porin and mlaA deletions and efflux pumps

Scientific Reports, 2022
Bacterial resistance to the antiseptic chlorhexidine (CHX), is a growing problem, recently shown to be caused by deleterious mutations to the phospholipid transport system component (mlaA) as well as efflux pump overexpression.

From the cytosol to the inner membrane: biogenesis of the mitochondrial carrier family

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mitochondrial carrier proteins are essential for cellular physiology as they are active in a wide range of metabolic pathways including production of cellular energy, amino acid synthesis, redox balance and ion homeostasis. The double membrane of mitochondria provides a tightly gated environment through which carrier proteins facilitate the ...

Voltage gating in porin channels [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1987
Data from experiments in which porin channels are reconstituted into planar bilayer membranes are reviewed for their relevance to porin channel gating in vivo. Contradictory evidence concerning voltage gating indicates that the different results may stem from the variety of purification techniques employed.
