Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins Are Targeted to the Bam Complex by Two Parallel Mechanisms

Proteins that are embedded in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria (OMPs) play an important role in protecting the cell from harmful chemicals. OMPs share a architecture and often contain a conserved sequence motif (β motif) of unknown function.
