Purification and Characterisation of a Pore Protein of the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane from Neurospora crassa [PDF]
, 1982 The major protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane of Neurospora was purified. On dodecylsulfate-containing gels it displayed a single bend with an apparent molecular weight of 31000.

Bacterial porins stimulate bone resorption [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1997 Porins are abundant outer membrane proteins of gram-negative bacteria involved in transport of low-molecular-mass molecules. During the past decade, porins from a number of bacteria have also been shown to have proinflammatory activities including inducing the synthesis of proinflammatory mediators (cytokines, platelet-activating factor, and nitric ...

A mitochondrial porin cDNA predicts the existence of multiple human porins
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993 Pores formed in the outer membrane of mitochondria by mitochondrial porin make it permeable to water-soluble metabolites smaller than approximately 5 kDa. We have isolated a full-length cDNA encoding a human porin. This probe detects a single approximately 1.5-kilobase mRNA species on Northern blots, but multiple hybridizing bands on genomic Southern ...

Dimeric porin from Paracoccus denitrificans [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1985 Paracoccus denitrificans was shown to contain a 33,000-dalton porin, which produced pores of large (1.6 to 1.8 nm) diameter. Cross-linking studies showed that the porin existed as dimers in the outer membrane.

Wireless Bioelectronic Modulation of Membrane Potential in Glioblastoma Using Carbon Nanotube Porins
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A schematic illustrating glioblastoma cell membrane modulation using carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs) and an applied voltage. CNTPs enable ion flux leading to changes in membrane potential. This figure summarizes the concept of bioelectronic control of cell membrane voltage.

Chimera X Interface to Enhance Understanding in Biochemistry and Immunology
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Proteins are essential in biological systems, acting in transport, catalysis, and immune defense processes. However, these biomolecules' structural and functional complexity makes teaching and understanding these topics challenging. To address this difficulty, this study aimed to develop tutorials that facilitate learning and teaching about ...
